NAME
       dosepsbin -- Extract PS/WMF/TIFF sections from DOS EPS binary files

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 sec‐
       tions:

       * 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 dif‐
	   ferent 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
