Seventy-thousand unwanted bounding boxes.

The company I work has just dropped 70,000 .eps files in my lap and asked for a way to remove the bounding box from them. The company sells logos for embroidery/engraving, and the problem is that any time something is emboidered or engraved the logo always has a box around it. I'm new to postscript languages and I'm wondering if there is a way to write a program to filter through the files and remove all the bounding boxes. Or perhaps there is a way to make Coral, Adobe, or other viewing/editing programs do this in one sweep?
