VERSION

2012−03−22 v1.2

SYNOPSIS

The progam dosepsbin analyses an EPS file that is not a plain ASCII PostScript file but given as DOS EPS binary file.

    dosepsbin [options] <input file>

First it analyzes the input file, validates its header and summarizes the available sections. Depending on the given options, the sections are then written to files.

Options:

    --eps-file <file>      Write PS section to <file>.
    --wmf-file <file>      Write WMF section to <file>.
    --tiff-file <file>      Write TIFF section to <file>.
    --inputfile <file>     The name of the input file.
    --verbose              Verbose output.
    --quiet                Only errors and warnings are printed.
    --help                 Brief help message.
    --man                  Full documentation.
    --version              Print version identification.

The files for output must be different from the input file.

DESCRIPTION

DOS EPS Binary File Format

A Encapsulated PostScript ( EPS ) file can also given in a special binary format to support the inclusion of a thumbnail. The file format starts with a binary header that contains the positions of the possible sections:
* Postscript ( PS )
* Windows Metafile Format ( WMF )
* Tag Image File Format ( TIFF )

The PS section must be present and either the WMF file or the TIFF file should be given.

OPTIONS

−−eps−file=<file>

The PS section is written to <file>. The output file must be different from the input file.

−−wmf−file=<file>

The WMF section is written to <file> if present. The output file must be different from the input file.

−−tiff−file=<file>

The TIFF section is written to <file> if present. The output file must be different from the input file.

−−inputfile=<file>

The input file can also be given directly on the command line. If the file does not exist, then the file with extension ’.eps’ is tried.

−−verbose

Verbose messages.

−−quiet

No messages are printed except for errors and warnings.

−−help

Display help screen.

−−man

Prints manual page.

−−version

Print version identification and exit.

EXAMPLES

The following command extracts the PS section from file test.eps and stores the result in file test−ps.eps:

    dosepsbin --eps-file test-ps.eps test.eps
