Contact Jim Von Ehr at Altsys in Plano Texas.  Jim was the originator of the
EPS format.  For a dollar, he will send you a copy of the EPS specification.
Lacking that, you can read one of the Appendices of the RED BOOK which describes
90% of the EPS format.  The only thing missing from the RED BOOK description,
is the format of the header used to include screen representations of the 
POSTSCRIPT code that follows.

I apologise for not posting Altsys's phone number, but I neglected to save
it from my last job.
