Hmmm...  well I deleted the 30 bytes of garbage, and all the garbage
at the end (i.e. after the 'showpage end'), and then ran them off to
the printer.  Other than the fact that they are at origin 0,0 they
look fine and are now perfectly reasonable EPSF.

In fact, they work very well with psfig, ditroff, and tpscript!
