- I've tried to convert some .ps or .eps files created by Mathematica to
- .wpg files without success. I tried the conversion on both wp and the
- wp graphics program (don't have the name at the moment). After the
- conversions, I still got the message sounding like "graphics for
- postscript printer" when previewing the graphics on the screen.
- Obviously, the graphics are still written in postscript, which wp
- cannot render, not in wpg. Though I can get the graphics printed
- nicely on postscript printers. Am I missing something? I have wp
- version 5.1.

- Thanks in advance for any enlightments.
