Problems with EPS figures

[Adrian Barrett]

Hi there,   Does anybody know if there is a difference between EPS files created under windows and linux?  I have LyX running both under Cygwin and on a Redhat box.  Both have no problem displaying EPS images which come from a "Unix background" - for example the platypus figure in the user manual, or   On the Cygwin LyX, EPS figures created by windows don't show as previews, although they do come up correctly in the DVI viewer.   Under linux, EPS figures created by windows based programs generate errors when trying to open them in lots of different packages (gimp, xfig, lyx, gv etc).   Any ideas??   Adrian   PS can you reply to my email as well as the list please.
