Hi Carol, EPS-files require an additional showpage command submitted to ghostscript. This is usually done by the ps-plugin. But these binary PostScript files (I have never seen before) are not recognized as EPS-files. The plug-in is not looking at the extension. If you or Gustav are working with Linux, you can use a workaround. Create a file /tmp/gs_eps with the following content:
#!/bin/sh args=`echo $* | sed -e 's/eps -c quit/eps -c showpage -c quit/'` exec gs $args (Note the different ` and �). Make it executable: chmod 755 /tmp/gs_eps Set an environment variable in the bash: export GS_PROG=/tmp/gs_eps and start gimp from that shell: gimp TORG_illustration.eps For Windows I don't know an appropriate workaround.
