I have been trying to create an encapsulated postscript file (or an
ordinary PS file for that matter) that WordPerfect 5.0 will read in.
So far no success.  With the EPS file WP always reports an end-of-file
error, suggesting that it is looking for something I have left out.
If I change the header so it thinks that it is regular PS it reads it in
without complaining, but nothing is there!

If anyone can send me a short file that draws anything -- line segment,
circle, etc. -- that loads into WP, I would be greatly indebted.

By the way, the recently posted EPS circle doesn't load.
