When trying to use ghostscript to view and convert some EPS images 
exported from FreeHand no errors occur but nothing is shown. The 
problem seems to lie in the position and size of the BoundingBox.

If you look at the header:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
%%Creator: FreeHand
%%Title: t1lx
%%CreationDate: 21.5.1991 8:37 Uhr
%%BoundingBox: 805 65 2185 2867
%%DocumentProcSets: FreeHand_header 2 0
%%DocumentSuppliedProcSets: FreeHand_header 2 0
%%ColorUsage: Color
%%DocumentCustomColors: (Forestgreen)

When I import the drawing into FrameMaker and print the page into
a file, ghostscript displays the correct results.

My Question: Is there a EPS-to-PS filter program (e.g. to execute in Unix)
of the form: epstops new-x new-y new-width new-height < epsfile > psfile

Please respond by e-mail since I don't read this group regularly.

Thank you...
