How do I convert this to EPS?

So,  having found that Adobe Illustrator produces exceedingly large EPS files,
AND, having a very short generic postscript scrap that does the same thing
(but is not encapsulated), IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED that it would be desirable
to ENCAPSULATE the postscript.

OF COURSE, I haven't the slightest idea how to do this.  Anybody give me any
hints as to how a small amount of postscript (ie, the text below) could be
encapsulated?  Gee, if it was mailed back to me encapsulated, I might just
burst with glee.

I WOULD BE ETERNALLY IN YOUR DEBT.  (Lucky you, huh?  "Pay Me", you say?)

Thanks in advance,

Eric
