Why can't we do this in one stage?  write the data out to the .eqn
file, and then immediately put in an external graphic call? the SGML backend
features can be called in, eg, an RTF-generating run, no?

if you want the dirty details:

tex xxx.eqn
dvips -E xxx -o xxx.ps
epstopdf -nogs xxx.ps > xxx.eps  # [1]
epstogif xxx.eps xxx.gif # [2]

[1] epstopdf at http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/. it makes the
page size of the PS file equal to the bounding box, so that GS does
not render to a full page size, and require cropping. if you are using
pdftex, it makes an encapsulated PDF file

[2] what is eps2gif? whatever you have..... eg

gs -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r72 -sOutputFile=xxx.tif xxx.eps -c quit  
convert xxx.tif xxx.gif

or just

convert xxx.eps xxx.gif

i expect
