I do not have a solution to your problem regarding the manipulation of EPS
file graphics, however, I do have something that may avoid the problem
altogether.
There is a nice company in San Leandro, CA called Molecular Design Limited
(510)-895-1300 (I think) that produces a series of products for drawing 2-d
and 3-2 molecular graphics and placing them in documents for printing on a
wide variety of printers.  Their products are chemically intelligent and
permit rotations, isomerizations, reaction diagrams, etc.  Great stuff!  The
last I heard, they were working on DOS, Windows, Mac, OS/2, VMS, and Unix
versions.

Give them a call and forget the EPS editing.

Have fun!
Andrew
