Hmmmm.. tough gig.. well to do all that you will have to get something with
a little under the hood. TryPhotpaint. You can gtet it without having to
get all of corel. Very powerful tool. I haveit, but I have the full blown
corel package.. if EPS isn't a necessity, you could grab a shareware app
called LVIEW Pro, it wil allow ya to d the conversions. Do your drawing,
seeing as it's simple, in Windoze paint program..
You can get LVIEW from most of the big mirror ftp sites. There is also a
version at
ftp.execpc.com
