I use Pagemaker 3.01 under Microsoft Windows. One of it's downsides is that
it does not render (on screen) EPS images. I don't necessarily expect
a text processing program to have a built in Postscript interpreter but
I was wondering if anyone knows of a Windows postscript interpreter that
uses DDE. This way, you could have a seperate program do the screen imaging
for you.

BTW, I sometimes import the file into Corel Draw, then re-export it to
an EPS file. Corel Draw will put an image header into the Postscript file
but Corel draw seems to fail on many of the images that I have tried with
it. It does not handle gray scale .PCX files, nor will it handle EPS files
with certain embedded fonts such as Finale files.
