My favorite document processing program (FinalWord, cum Sprint) mentions
that I can draw diagrams in my manuals by including "Encapsulated PostScript"
files that describe them.  How do I create these, and of what do they consist?
I have examined a few image editors sold into the PC Desktop Publishing market,
e.g. Publisher's Paintbrush from Z-Soft, and they seem to be raster-image
beasts which do not create .EPS files.  Where do I start?  I appeal to the
net!

P.S. This is great!  I was in China for three months last Summer and
couldn't get a phone call across Beijing to work reliably.  It's good to be
home.
