An update:

I bought Micrografx Designer, recommended by several people (thank you), and
have been creating satisfactory EPSF files, complete with the binary "table
of contents" at the front, which I must strip off manually before Borland
Sprint will include it.  No, Windows Paint evidently does not produce EPSF
files, but it can write a PS job to a file using the method given in another
article, using a line in WIN.INI.

The EPSF specification I was screaming for (sorry about the noise) was kindly
mailed to me by Glenn C. Reid of Adobe Systems (and my printer subsequently
emitted a very nice document: THIS IS GREAT!), although I later spotted a note
from some kind soul who gave directions on how to tap ps-file-server@adobe to
get these things without the intervention of the author.  Now I have to try
to get an index out of it to see what else I want...

Thanks to all who responded for another satisfactory justification of my
net access.
