- I don't use Mathematica but I had the same problem with eps
- files from Harvard Graphics. I found out that WP expects
- only plain eps ascii text files that begins with %!
- while some applications have additional codes before
- the %! (WP does that to convert to wpg) so just use
- your favourite editor and removed everything before the
- %! before converting and it should work fine.
-
- Hope this helps.
