Len Schwer wrote a fine article on this subject in TugBoat 11/2, in which he noted that the prep file to be included with the graphic should not be the one supplied withthe Macintosh's system software, but must be a modified one. He also notes that the prep ver. 70 has not yet been so modified. Hopefully the passage of time has changed this last. In general {\em any} PostScript file generated via the print-to-disk method on the Mac (command-F method) will {\em not} be encapsulated PS. That's the basic problem. I was told by someone at BMUG that there is a chooser-level driver that lets you print-to-disk in Adobe Illustrator format. Now that's definitely EPS! Also editable via Adobe Illustrator, even better. So Steinar's efforts seem doomed, but others may know more than I: I would appreciate hearing about the driver in the previous paragraph if anyone knows where it is. Also, does anyone have an update on Len's techniques?
