Well, I can't tell you how the NCAR Graphics folks would suggest you
do it, but we have submitted many figures digitally, to AMS and others.
We flow the EPS files through Adobe Illustrator on our PowerMac. Now,
I'm not sure what other platforms you have or whether Illustrator
has been ported to them, but I can say that when we tell printers
that the EPS files we are sending them come from 1) Illustrator,
generated on 2) a Mac, there is an almost audible sigh of relief at
the other end of the line. :-)
