You should be able to skip the conversion step by using the AdobePS
printer driver in Classic to print to a PostScript job of type .eps

I usually make a .pdf and export from the full version of Adobe Acrobat
a .eps with a preview when I need a preview for other people.

At home, I skip the preview and rely on NeXTstep's Display PostScript :/

Install AdobePS (for Classic apps---anyone know if Adobe is going to do
a driver for Mac OS X?). Alternately, preview in Preview.app to get a
.pdf
