EEEEEEK! That's a rather pricey way to import eps files to the NeXT.

Why not buy that DataViz product, I think it's called "Mac Link Plus"?

Then, you can transfer all sorts of things with ease. I'm pretty sure that
eps files are quite easy to send off to the NeXT with this system, and
it will also translate Microsoft Word files into WriteNow format.
