.TH EPS2EPSI 1 "May 1991"
.SH NAME
eps2epsi \- Filter for inclusion of a preview in an EPS file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B eps2epsi
[
.B \-w
.I preview_width
] [
.I filename
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Eps2epsi
puts a preview section in a PostScript file (preferably EPSF).
The preview produced
is in the encapsulated PostScript interchange format (EPSI)
suitable for import by FrameMaker and other document composing
systems.
.B Eps2epsi
reads the file specified (or standard input) and sends the new file
with the preview included to standard output.
.PP
.B Esp2epsi
uses
.B GhostScript
to render the preview bitmap, which means that
.B GhostScript
must be installed at your system before you can use
.B eps2epsi.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 5
.BI \-w " n"
Set the width (in characters) of the preview section. This also specifies the
resolution of the preview as
.I n
times 4 horizontally.
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR perl (1),
.BR gs(1)
