 An EPS file is different from a Postscript file generated by the Laserwriter
 driver. A plain Postscript file cannot be placed into a program that is
 expecting EPS. Somewhere, I have a document that describes how a plain
 Postscript file can be modifed to make it EPS format. It wasn't too
 difficult. E-mail if you're interested, and I'll see if I can dig it up.

 Hope this helps,
 Rich
