- I just thought I'd point something out here, as it may be of interest. The
- Acorn PostScript printer drivers (both RISC OS 2 and 3) always generate EPS
- files if the output is a single page. If the output is multi-page, then you
- get a standard PostScript file. Some programs which can import EPS don't
- like the version numbers quoted by the RISC OS 2 driver though. This can be
- fixed by a quick edit to the output, or even the printer driver module
- (since finding the string with !Edit isn't hard).
