I have spent the last four months building a graphical app which should eventually export the graphics to EPS format. Now the final stage of my app has come, but I have trouble getting a good overview of where EPS exactly fits in, and what I should do. For example, is it true that EPS is almost the same as PS with some limitations? If so, what are those limitations? And, is it true that EPS only can (and must) hold one page? I would appreciate it if you have some suggestions about books I should read... (I already have ordered the book PostScript Language Reference Manual SE,1991) -- Met vriendelijke groet, Camiel Wijffels =============================================== Vertrouwelijk.

>For example, is it true that EPS is almost the same as PS with some >limitations? It is PS, with some limitations. But it may also have a preview image attached. This is optional but users will think it is broken if you cannot use it. >If so, what are those limitations? See the EPS Specification on http://partners.adobe.com/ >And, is it true that EPS only can (and must) hold one page? Absolutely. And if you are thinking it might have something else, I think you have the wrong idea of what EPS is for. Perhaps we can help - what use would you envisage for a multi-page EPS. Aandi Inston

None, I suppose. But I'm not conviced. For example, what use would you envisage for a single-page Word???? I have never heard of EPS until this project started, so I would appreciate to be carried around.... But thanks anyway! -- Met vriendelijke groet, Camiel Wijffels =============================================== Vertrouwelijk. Dit bericht is uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde. Confidential.

Hi Camiel, The Peter Vollenweider book, is also available in German by Carl Hanser Verlag (Munich-Vienna) publishers. Perhaps another place to find it is in the *author university*: Computing Center of the University of Zurich (Switzerland). Hope this helps, ...
