Beware of CorelDRAW! 4.0 EPS files.  If you create b&w or grayscale EPSes
with Corel's right-out-of-the-box EPS export filter, you will likely get
a checksum error upon trying to import to PM 5.0.  Corel has a new version
of their EPS export filter available on CompuServe to solve that problem.
If you don't have CompuServe access, you must call Corel.  Also, even the
new filter does not conform to the Adobe standard of writing color EPS files,
so it is not guaranteed to color separate in PM 5.0.

PM 5.0 will color separate CMYK TIF, color conforming EPS, and DCS files.
If your EPS file has an RGB TIF header, it will not color separate.
