 Need to view EPS files

Anybody have any ideas on how I can view EPS files in VB?  I'm using 3.0,
but would upgrade to 4.0 if I needed to.

I need to load the EPS file from disk and allow the user to view sections
of it.  I think the best viewing option is to have scroll bars to move the
image around.

Thanks!

Mark

If you really want to view EPS files, you've got a ways to go. It
essentially requires a full-blown postscript interpreter to do this.
There's a shareware? program around called GhostScript that can. It
probably would be easier to use a program such as Corel Draw, Adobe
Illustrator, or maybe one of the conversion programs such as Hijaak to
convert the EPS files to some other format like WMF? It's possible
that one of the drawing VBX/OCXs understand EPS. Lastly you might try
over in comp.language.postscript, those guys might be able to help.
