I've been doing a bunch of work lately with plots in EPS format, and 
I noticed something different in my system since upgrading to 3.0.
It used to be that the AdobeIllustrator registered the .eps file ending
(and didn't Image Viewer as well?) so that you could make it the default 
application for .eps files. Now it doesn't seem to since AI is not
in the list of possibility in teh Tools Inspector for .eps files.  Anyone
know how to restore this? or did they change AI when they made the minor
upgrade last year? (I installed the AI upgrade at the same time I upgraded
to 3.0, so I don't know exactly what caused the difference). Note I did
go and change the name of the application and its folder so that .ai files
register properly.  

While we're on the subject:  does anyone have a suggestion for a good basic
.eps file previewer/printer application?  Preview is way too finicky for 
my taste. I often make EPS files by hitting the Save button in the print
panel, then using BBFig to get the Bounding Box right.  Preview has a major
fit wiht these files, but they image perfectly on drag and drop into 
Create, Diagram, etc. Under 2.1 I could use Scene, which was perfect for
the task, and also had the nice "position in center" and "scale to fit"
options in the print panel.  Is there anything else like that around? Or
has anyone fixed Scene (as someone was kind enough to do for Icon) so it
works under 3.0?
