I'd really like to do this too.  I created a TEXT file on the Mac that
conformed to the EPSF specifications according to the EPSF doc on the Adobe
file server.  It had an extension of .epsf, and it had the basic
  %!Adobe...
  %%BoundingBox: ...
(I forget the exact syntax.  I don't have it handy.)
The EPSF doc said this is the minimum needed to create an EPSF conformant
file.  When I tried to load it into Illustrator, I got a dialog that said
something like
  Unexpected end of file:  Invalid command: `'

Any ideas?

Thanks,
