Miklos, thank you again for your help. I see in your GC example, the EPS code has the image information already in hex. I, and our customers, are not using Macs, so GC is not an option for us. We have been trying to get Acrobat to work, since it is a common standard. When I create an EPS file out of a jpeg using only Acrobat, I get a huge file like you noted. Tons of header, and very little help.

I am quite sure that for our purposes, we need to extract the necessary EPS data and actually put it into the larger PS file, so that at the end of the line, we have everything (report, plus the image to be imported) in one PS file.

So at first, to get used to how it works, before I build a routine to automate the process, I want to know how to manually extract the EPS data (the image) and where to paste it in the PS file.
