Could someone explain the difference between PS and EPS, I thought the
the only difference is that EPS doesn't have a "SHOWPAGE" command.

I regularly draw diagrams in !Draw and import the RO2 !PrinterPS output
into MS Word 5.0 after deleting the "Copies" line at the bottom of the
file (Copies is an Acorn macro which calls showpage).

I recently tried to export the EPS from Mentor Graphics CAD tools into
!Artworks with no success whatsoever.  Have CC produced a proper EPS
interpreter for !Artworks? I suspect they've hard-coded the macros which
Corel Draw, Adobe etc. use in their EPS files instead of reading the
full PS prolog.

(- BTW I did find a way to get workstation graphics onto my Archie, but its
a bit contrived.  The route is :-
   X windows bitmap dump (xwd) -> PMB+ (PD s/w) GIF/TIFF -> !ChangeFSI -> Sprite
)

Happy Christmas everyone, this system is about to crash
for the holiday ( some of my computers may go down as well),
