No, everyone did not receive the package.  You are probably correct
in assuming that it was in response to a posting.

Well, not all .EPS files contain a TIFF file header.  WinWord and most
applications require this header in order to display the file as the 
program itself does not interpret postscript.

BTW, I would like a copy as well if Microsoft is still listening.
