I have it and have used it, so I can comment on it.  I believe that CSC
actually licenses Decipher from another company (who I belive sells it
under there own name, also).  In any case, Decipher breaks the eps into
three catagories:

   1. The fonts, if applicable, are mapped to the closes CSC font.
   2. The raster image(s), if applicable, are separated info tif file(s).
   3. What's left, if anything, is tranformed into the CSC GED vector format.

They are currently working on an improved, Windows 3.0 version of Decipher.
