Hello,

I have a few questions about concerning eps files.  I used to use corel
draw 2.0 and export to an eps file.  The file format was %!adobe 2.0 epsf2.0.
I then exported the eps file into WordPerfect for Windows without problem.

The problem arose when I started using Corel Draw 3.0.  It exports eps files
with the following header: 
			%!adobe 2.0 epsf1.2

These eps files seem to import fine, but when I go to print them out the
printer doesn't seem to respond.  The printer is an HPIIIp with a Pacific
Page Postscript Cartridge (ver 4.31).  I was wondering if their are any
utilities (preferably shareware) available for ibm clones capable of
converting between different versions of eps.      

Also, the old eps files used to contain a sreen representation of the       
drawings so that after importing the eps files I could see the image on
screen and resize and scale with a good idea of what the image looked liked.
Is this screen bit map represenation a feature of epsf2.0, because the
epsf1.2 files don't seem to contain the bitmaps (tiff i think).  Finally,
is it possible to hack an eps file so that these screen represenations
show up on screen?  Thanks in advance.
