Thanks for advices. Unfortunately only later I understood, that I have to use Illustrator to play with (E)PS files. GhostView - probably not for my nerves. And also another moment: I had an Illustrator only on another PC in the LAN, so I tried to work with it. It worked only for simple PS scripts.
Now I installed trial version and so far am OK.
Here is my another question.
I use ASP (because all my huge application is in this script). I have a very simple TEMPLATE - a white square with few text fields in fixed positions. I took an existed EPS file for concrete template, divided it into 3 parts (beginning, enging, which never change, and middle part with variable text fields). Now I easily generate middle part from my ASP putting values for each text field. Than I merge all 3 parts into one new and save as a new file. Unfortunately Illustrator is unable to parser it.
Q #1: is this method "normal" to generate EPS files?
Q #2: is there any Log for errors and warnings of Illustrator as PS Script parser/editor. How can I locate the error that have in my "small" EPS file with >3000 lines?

thx for advices
