IDL's EPS thumbnail image [message #4752]

Hi,

I use EPS files quite regularly, and the more files I generate, the more
annoyed I become. This is because the thumbnail image contained in the
.eps file is not supported by any of the packages I use - in particular
the windows eps filter which is used for word and my dvi viewer. .eps
files created by XV (for example) do work with this graphics filter, so
the problem does not lie there (not completely at least!).

I can find no refernce to my problem in the faq.

The manual describes the format as "EPSI", I have no idea what this
format is, but its not TIFF anyway!!

In the ideal world, someone would post a uuencoded EPSI supporting .eps
graphics filter for windows to the group! but failing that, does anyone
out there have any suggestions? Maybe there is a program that converts
the thumbnail image to something readable.

I expect from talking to other people that use IDL that this is a
problem that annoys many users, if it comes down to it, people could
email me and I could use this as a petition for RSI to help sort it out.

Sorry for the wordy post, thanks for reading, any help would be greatly
appreciated,

Rob O'Connell.
