=>   PostScript files should be converted to .WPG files just like everything
=>else, at least with WP 5.1 for DOS (I assume other versions are the same).
=>When a PS file is converted from within WP (load, then switch to "graphic

I've tried to convert some .ps or .eps files created by Mathematica to
.wpg files without like. I tried the conversion in both wp and the wp
graphics program (don't have the name at the moment). Am I missing
something? I have wp version 5.1.

Thanks in advance for any enlightments.
