HELP!  I have been trying to get .EPS files (Encapsulated Postscript)
created for a manual I'm editing so I can use Sprint to include them, but
my earlier leads to Publisher's Paintbrush (Z-Soft, Marietta, GA) seem
not to have been valid.  Now the same source (my boss, alas!) tells me
that "well, *some* program I used did it" but cannot pinpoint which one.
*sigh*
Anyway, I have Windows-386 as well as Windows V2.1 at my disposal, and I'd
like to get a straight answer from someone who knows for sure whether either
of these will, from the Windows-Paint program, produce actual EPS files.
If not, please give me a valid lead to another program I can get, preferably
for free and without human intervention (i.e. download it from someplace),
that will do this.  Is this stuff so new that I'm blazing a trail, here?
I hardly think so, but someone please set me straight.
I have used up my strategic lead time laboring under a false assumption,
and my deadline draws near, so PLEASE HELP!  PANIC! PANIC! :-(

Forgive me if this is a duplication of recent traffic: Portal just now
*finally* moved this group off of the list of groups to add to the list of
groups to add to the list of groups onto the list of groups I can use. :-)
*sigh, again*.

Thanks for timely help, ye netlanders. All praise!
