Encapsulated postscript (eps) is basically a stricter subset of postscript.
This means that anything in eps does not need to be converted. The other
way is more of a problem. Eps requires that the item is a single page or
part thereof, that you know the size the item takes up on the page, and
that certain postscript commands are not used. So for example, a
multi-page document cannot be converted toeps, and no converting software
will help.
For fuller details, I recommend the comp.lang.postscript FAQ.
Cheers,
