Importing EPS

[Ken Ray]

Karl,

Alejandro Tejada has some sample code for importing EPS as polygons:

http://ffc.virtualave.net/EPStoMetaCard.sit

I don't know if it will help you in your case, but you might want to
check it out. Otherwise you'll need to find some way to convert your EPS
graphics to JPEG, PNG, etc.
