Right. First, I thought that ua-thesis was calling the draft option by  
default, so an explicit final option was necessary; but it turns out I  
was wrong ---ua-thesis doesn't call draft option *and* the final  
options adds things you really don't want, unless you're actually  
presenting your work to the University of Arizona.

The thing is ua-tesis is old ---1997, a time of slower processors, and  
the examples you find tell you to use the draft option, which back  
then I think saved a lot of processing time. So maybe Per was  
typesetting with the draft option on, and that's why his graphics  
didn't show up.

Best,

Axel
