[comp.text] encapsulated postscript

jacks@pogo.UUCP (03/14/87)

The December issue of Publish just crossed my desk.  It mentions "the new
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format, already being adopted by companies
such as Adobe, Aldus, Altsys, Symmetry and others".

What is the purpose of EPS, and where may I find a definition of the format?

Could someone explain what encapsulated postscript (EPS) is ?

I assume it is a superset/subset of postscript, and if so, can I convert
postscript to EPS ????

Apologies if this has been discussed before ....

thanks in advance
