Ok here's a good question ....
I have this EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) Image - a 3D global view of
the world that I wish to print out 10 to a page. Because it is EPS and
not PS I cannot just edit the file and rewrite it to be a postscript
procedure to print it out easily.
What I basically need is a program on the Amy to import an EPS picture,
allow me to paste that picture 10 times on one page, and then print out
the resultant page.
Any ideas on what software I should be using ??? I would hate to have
to spend mega bucks just to do this one job so I think that Pro-draw is
out of my price range (even if it did the job).
Thanks in advance - Shaun.

I use Pro Page, which is also going to be out of your price range. I
am not sure if PageSetter II wil import EPS files or not. This is a
great low end DTP package,and if it can import the EPS file I'd say
this is what should go for. On the other hand DecWrite will import
EPS files just fine. If you have access a vax with decwrite,and a
laser printer your all set.

| 4547.2 | use a text editor | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Mon Feb 25 1991 10:15 | 6 |
You should be able to use a text editor to put logic around your EPS
file to print it 10 times to the page. An EPS file is just a text file
as far as editors are concerned. Programming is PostScript is
non-trivial, but not impossible. It's a well-documented languages,
which makes up for a lot.

Thanks for your reply's ...
RE .2
That's what I tried to do at first. I tried to make the EPS file a
procedure with {} and I removed the showpage command in it. But because
of the complexity of an EPS file it bombs out with an stack overflow
error.
If you wish to have at the file concerned it's located in :
TROPPO::OFF_DISK_2:[MORAN.PUBLIC]GLOBE.EPS
If troppo is'nt in your database it's Decnet addr is 59.157.
Thanks Shaun.
