I get the general idea of what an EPS file is like.  However; I would like
to use some scanned images in EPS format in my PostScript programs.  For
example I might create a business card in standard PostScript and would like
to place a logo on each copy of this card on the page.  I would like a 
cut-and-paste PostScript code for placing the EPS image on the page where I
could simply change certain variables to move, size, or otherwise effect
the included EPS image.  If I cannot have that could I at least see an example
of the code placing and effecting an EPS image so I could get the general
idea of how to use them?  Thank you for any help.
