Can anyone out there tell me how to use Adobe Illustrator to open EPS files
created in GEM Artline?  If it can't be done, can anyone explain why not?

Our documentation department got a few hundred EPS files from an outside
contractor.  The contractor used GEM Artline to create them.  These
files can be used successfully in Aldus Pagemaker, but cannot be opened
in Adobe Illustrator.

Our graphic artist wrote to Adobe about what we could do to make this
possible. They said that it could not be done.  In the meantime, I was
fooling around with their headers and prologues, but I couldn't make any
progress.

Thanks for any ideas.
