-
- This program requires Adrian Aylward's post v1.1 library.
-
- "EPS2EPSI", EPS converts Encapsulated PostScript files into
- Encapsulated Postscript Interchange files. This means, it adds a
- simple bitmap representation of the postscript file so that the
- programs which allow ESP to be imported can easily show what is
- being included. It was written so that I could take EPS files that I
- have or created with Professional Draw and import them into FRAME
- Maker, a UNIX based Electronic Publishing System. Of course the
- output files can be used with any package that can import EPSI files.
-
- This is a quick and dirty program that gets the job done, there is
- no fancy user interface just command line options. It is run as
- follows:
-
- eps2epsi infile -o outfile
-
- The output file is optional, if left off the output will just go
- to standard output. Other options could be added like lower the
- resolution of the output image which would make the resulting files
- much smaller. Also, this code could easily be changed to generate
- the new Amiga IFF EPS files are ILBM files with embedded EPS chunks.
-
- The current verion does not do any error handling with the error
- codes returned by POST. All POST error messages will go to standard
- output. If you use this on a file created by Professional Draw,
- the ^D at the end of the file will cause an error message, but the
- file will still be convert properly.
-
- If nothing else this program is a simple example of how POST can be
- used in an application program. If anyone has any comments on
- EPS2EPSI, please let me know.
