I have had problems importing EPS into framemaker documents under X, but haven'thad any problems with EPS on the Mac version.  There must be some
incompatibility in the EPS file when it gets over to the Mac.  One possible 
reason is this (keep in mind I don't know much about any of this).  EPS files
ofen have a rough bitmap of the image at the top of the file, followed by the
post script itself.  It may be that the format of this bitmap isn't compatible
between the PC and the Mac, etc. 
	I have also had good luck importing TIFF format into maker documents on the Mac, so if Matlab will export TIFF, you could use that.

I have a similar problem:

I want to include plots from Cricket Graph on the Mac (it exports PICT only)
into maker documents on a Sun.  I have tried the following, all with no luck:

	Upload the PICT to the sun, use picttoppm, then import from maker.  The
	graphics are mostly lost.

	Convert to EPSF on the Mac, transfer to the sun and import.  The image is
	truncated.  Same thing happens if I convert from PICT to EPSF on a unix
	machine rather than the Mac.

	Convert the PICT to  TIFF, transfer the file and import.  I think in this
	case, maker refused to import the file.

Any advice on this problem would be appreciated too.
