 +===== submit_prepare.pl =====
  
 +This is a Perl script which automates some of the steps in preparing a file for submission to ApJ or astro-ph. It will never modify your original TeX file or figures, but instead creates copies with the desired changes. ​
 +
 +Use it like:
 +    submit_prepare.pl ​ myarticle.tex
 +and it will create a new subdirectory called "​submit"​ with a version of the article ready for submission. ​
 +
 +Use 
 +    submit_prepare.pl -x myarticle.tex
 +to copy all your images and shrink them into compressed JPEG format to meet ArXiV.org'​s file size limits.
 +
 +This script requires that you have both Ghostscript (gs) and jpeg2ps installed.

 +# submit_prepare.pl -- Marshall Perrin <​mperrin@astro.berkeley.edu>​
 +
 +#     ​Package up an article for submission to ApJ or ArXiV.org (astro-ph)
 +#     This involves renaming things to meet the ApJ file name standards,
 +#     ​and/​or re-compressing image files smaller to meet ArXiV'​s file
 +#     size limit, and then compressing everything into a tar file.
 +#
 +#     It also strips out comments from the LaTeX file, both to reduce
 +#     file size further and in case you left any embarassing comments in that
 +#     you don't want the journal editor to see. ;-)
 +#
 +# Usage: ​   submit_prepare.pl [-x] [-r #] [-t] <​filename>​
 +#
 +# Options:
 +#           ​-x ​  ​prepare for ArXiV submission. This involves recompressing
 +#                all figures to a smaller size in order to meet the < 1MB limit.
 +#           -r # What resolution to use for JPEGs during ArXiV preparation.
 +#                Default is 150 dpi; make it smaller to shrink files more.
 +#           ​-t ​  ​automatically tar things up into submit.tar.gz
 +#
 +# Outputs: A directory called "​submit"​ which contains all the relevant stuff.
 +#       ​**WARNING** This script will overwrite any existing "​submit"​
 +#       ​subdirectory of the current directory. Any files therein will be lost!
 +#
 +# Requirements:​
 +#       You must have jpeg2ps and gs in your path. Get gs from Fink and
 +#       ​jpeg2ps from http://​www.pdflib.com/​products/​more/​jpeg2ps.html
 +#       or DarwinPorts.
 +#
 +# History:
 +#       ​2005-10-07 ​     Began. M. Perrin
 +#       ​2006-04-24 ​     Added option handling, checks for file name
 +#                       ​extensions,​ and general cleanup of the code.
 +#
 +#
 +# TODO: Make it check for includegraphics commands too, and optionally
 +#       ​convert them to plotones, stripping out any arguments
 +
 +use Getopt::​Std;​
 +# See http://​aplawrence.com/​Unix/​perlgetopts.html
 +# TODO make this better. ​
 +#        add an option to automatically latex and xdvi it for testing.
