[OT] How to read EPS map file (was Re: Mapping FT (#2))

G'day,
		Paint Shop Pro 5 will make but can't read EPS files. I
used Ghostview
(freeware extension of Ghostscript) to open the EPS file customised the
page layout (i.e. page size) so all of the image was on the "page" then
"pasted to" (in Edit menu) a BMP file (basically just creates BMP file
of
the image - Ghostview can also do straight convert to BMP (also in Edit
menu)). I then used PSP5 to open the BMP and save as file type of choice
(in this case a GIF). This wasn't as complicated as I made it sound.

Hope this helps (or is at least of some use),

Cheers

Beth
