I have an encapsulated postscript file created by a HP scanjet+ while scanning
in a logo that I would like to include in different word processors.

From what I can tell, there are 4 main varieties of encapsulated postscript.

	1. EPS with no screen preview
	2. EPSF with MSDOS screen preview (maybe tiff)
	3. EPSF with Macintosh screen preview
	4. EPSI with device independent screen preview.

I have a program that converts from 3 to 4. (EPS mac preview to EPSI)
Now what I would like is some other converters. I'm pretty sure that the
scanjet+ software (scan gallery 5.0) creates EPS of the 1st type above.
(no preview) I would like to obtain types 2 and 4 to be used with MSDOS
word processors (Microsoft Word & Word Perfect) and UNIX word processors
under X (Frame Maker). Can anyone help me out here or provide some more
information?

Thanks,
