Included graphics and background art

[Alister Pillow]

Hi, two questions:
I'm producing a book from text marked up in XML. My eps graphics currently
weigh in at 491MB and that's just 1 chapter. I would like to be able to
keep the graphics as separate files from the main postscript output. Is
this possible?

Also, I'd like to have a bar drawn down the 'outside' of each page
providing a visible indication of which chapter you are looking at. The bar
would have a height = pageHeight/chapters and its position would be
dependant on chapter number.  I'm finding it hard to construct a box of any
sort (with @Diag)  in the running header or background due to scoping
problems. 

Thanks in advance.
