Yeah.   The easiest way is to  use LaTeX on  the Macintosh.  Trying to
put the cmd-F  equivalent in is  abysmally  difficult.  I've heard  of
people who  captured the output of macps  and  successfully used that,
but those are unconfirmed rumors.

You do not need the Appledict.h,  I believe.   EPS is supposed to be a
directly-portable format, so no  special dictionaries are  (generally)
needed.  Again, this has not been directly confirmed by me.
