[Mick_Marsh]

Any recommended free software packages to do this?

Irfanview should do the trick plus it will open all sorts of image files.

Mick - I use irfranview at work - a little clunky but works a treat.

[Mick_Marsh]

I know what you mean about clunky. I've had Infraview for years.
Great fir various file formats I get sent in relation to work.

I tried to open the EPS with it, asked me to load plugins.
Loaded plugins, asked me to load ghostscript.
Loaded ghostscript, machine locked.
I hate Windows.

I suspect I'll be needing to change format or edit soon. Any recommendations there?

[Mick_Marsh]

It just finished restarting.

Did I mention, I have Windows.

[Mick_Marsh]

Nup. No go.
File must be corrupt.

I have a jpg and a svg. How do I create an eps?

EPS is encapsulated post script

have you downloaded irfanview and the same version plugins from the irfanview site

Yep, yep & yep.

Infraview works fine with other file types. This is my only EPS.

Have now.
No good.
Opens the SVG file but can't export or open EPS.

Ah. Ok. Found it.

I'm trying to use a little tablet thingy. It's such small writing. I'm used to using twin 20 something inch monitors. Using my glasses, I can generally see something on them.

Bonus! It exports to DXF.

I might be able to fix the logo.
