PageStream can import PostScript files directly. Be sure to have the
EPS.Import driver in your PSDrivers directory. Choose "Project-Import-
Graphics" in the program and select the file to import. Refer to the
"PostScript" section of your manual.

Of course, PageStream cannot interpret an EPS file so you aren't
able to actually see how the file looks (It just displays a rectangle 
corresponding to the size of the Postcript file's bounding box).

If you rely on output to non-postscript printers, get a PostScript
Interpreter like the commercial "PixelScript" or the excellent
freely distributable "Post 1.1" (available on several ftp sites
like the "new xanth").
