Dear Marko,
answer to your question:
2. eepic: I couldn't make eepic work: latex complains with
! LaTeX Error: \dashlinestretch undefined.
Do I need to input some other file besides transfig.tex?
Answer: You have to insert in the head of your latex code:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epic,eepic}
