- Could someone explain the difference between PS and EPS, I thought the
- the only difference is that EPS doesn't have a "SHOWPAGE" command.
-
- I regularly draw diagrams in !Draw and import the RO2 !PrinterPS output
- into MS Word 5.0 after deleting the "Copies" line at the bottom of the
- file (Copies is an Acorn macro which calls showpage).
-
- I recently tried to export the EPS from Mentor Graphics CAD tools into
- !Artworks with no success whatsoever. Have CC produced a proper EPS
- interpreter for !Artworks? I suspect they've hard-coded the macros which
- Corel Draw, Adobe etc. use in their EPS files instead of reading the
- full PS prolog.
-
- (- BTW I did find a way to get workstation graphics onto my Archie, but its
- a bit contrived. The route is :-
- X windows bitmap dump (xwd) -> PMB+ (PD s/w) GIF/TIFF -> !ChangeFSI -> Sprite
- )
-
- Happy Christmas everyone, this system is about to crash
- for the holiday ( some of my computers may go down as well),
