I'm uncertain about this but I think Ghostscript (a freeware program)
can
read EPS.  It can read PS files quite happily in any case.  Otherwise
the
simplest way to read an EPS file is to use a postscript capable printer
and
print the file to it using a dos command.  Copy filename.* LPT1

Thats what I did the last time I printed EPS.
