I am in need of assistance in converting PS to EPS file formats. The PS files are single page graphics files produces in the application S. I would like to convert them to EPS format for importing as figures into a report. I read the FAQ in this forum and tried the suggestions in subject 9.3 on the issue of coverting PS to EPS, but have had no success. The commands erasepage and initclip are defined in the early portion of the PS file, but not referenced later. Subject 9.3 defines these as operators that should not be used in an EPS file, and I have tried removing the lines that contain them but still no luck. The error that WordPerfect reports when I try to retrieve the file into a graphics figure box is "incorrect format". The ideal solution would be for someone to recommend to me a utility on the DOS or UNIX platforms that will do the conversion for me. Alternatively I will gladly accept recommendations or assistance if someone offers. I have perhaps 50 such files, and because of their similarity I suspect the same problem plagues them all, so one solution gets 50. Pretty good return, I think. Thanks in advance. Mark
