Hello. You wrote:
I often import eps files mostly generated by gnuplot or by ps2epsi.
xfig2.1 has no problem displaying the eps object on screen. xfig3.1,
however, gives the `unknown image format' error in the console window
for exactly the same conditions. I verified this again by running
xfig.old and importing an eps file generated by ps2epsi.
I'm sorry for the delay in responding. I've looked at this, and...
you're right, xfig 3.1 does not seem to work with EPS files. I'm
working on fixing this. I can't really make any estimate about how
long it will take. I'll let you know when it's fixed.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
