There's a document in recent versions of NextAnswers that describes
most of the major differences between PS and EPS files.  There's
definitely more than just the bounding box thing that you will have to
fix.  Among other things, certain operators are not allowed in EPS
files, which seems like a potential roadblock in your conversion.
