The problem you are having is that encapsulate PostScript files come in
different classes. We had a similar problem in that we wanted to be able to
edit PostScript files created by IDL with Mac software. We found that
though they could be included in files, and they would print, all you could
see was the box you described. We finally found a piece of software,
Transverter Pro by TechPool Software, that converts the PostScript files to
lots of different formats. I'm pretty sure they have a PC version and it's
worked very well for us. Jean
