E.P.S. , for encapsulated Post Script.
Post Script is a graphics programming language which allows scaling of
all components - very handy in the days before WinDoze and TrueType
Fonts. Today it is used mostly in typesetting applications.
A PostScript emulator allows you to read post-script files, and print
them on a non post-script printer.
