As far as I understand it, EPSF is the same postscript except that EPSF is
bounded to, at most, a single page.  Hence these bounded files can be imported
into other documents (i.e. graphic captions into a text document).  There is
a document describing EPSF available from adobe file server.

If such a thing exists, I want it too.  So please post to the group.
