If you're already working under unix, I'd suggest getting a copy of latex.
It's actually probably already installed on your distribution. It will
handle the EPS files perfectly (as it outputs a dvi format). Changing
things won't screw up the placement of figures either, as the latex
file is compiled to generate the output file. The program is quite smart,
and good for all publication quality text formatting. The only down side
is that it has a bit of a steep learning curve (probably equivalent to IDL).
You'll need a book to figure things out. "Latex, A Document Preparation
System..." by Leslie Lamport is the standard reference, and is nice because
it includes lots of reference info. However, it is a bit
dense, and is definitely not an instruction book. If you get it, you'll
probably also need something else, at least to start out with.
