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

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?

It just finished restarting.

Did I mention, I have Windows.

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

Yep, yep & yep.

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

Tried inkscape?
