I'm cornfused.  This eps thread and my past experience (limited) seems
to imply that that an eps file should have as a minimum some postscript
instructions in ascii, even if the included bitmap is not.

However, I just purchased some (MS-DOS) T/Maker Professional EPS clip
art.  Arts and Letters has no problem converting them from EPS to their
native format (so one assumes that they are "correct" eps format).
However, when I tried printing them via UltraScript, it choked. When I
did a "less" on the files, the file is all binary -- w/o any ascii
postscript instructions?!?
