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.
