Problem

Symptoms: When a customer attempts to import a CGM or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file from Arts and Letters 2.0, he receives the error "Incorrect Format." The error also appears when a user tries to retrieve (open) an EPS file from Harvard Graphics for Windows 1.0a. Solutions: EPS, CGM, and TIFF formats from version 2.02 and later of Arts and Letters work correctly. The customer needs to upgrade his copy of Arts and Letters. The Harvard Graphics file contains a Windows Metafile/Illustrator heading at the beginning. This type of header is not supported and is the cause of the problem. To work around the problem, the user can retrieve the EPS file into a DOS editor and remove all of the hexadecimal code representing the header.
