History
-------
Since WMF2EPS 0.3 was released in 1996, many users reported bugs or asked me to improve
either the user interface, such as batch mode running from commandline, or similar.
WMF2EPS 0.3 was a real quick and dirty program without too much documentation, since it
was intended basically for personal use or for a few expert users.
The main reasons for those I've decided to release further versions of WMF2EPS are:
- Windows still lacks of EPS file support.
- A lot of programs don't support EPS files properly.
- Many people seem to use the program.
Installation
------------
Please make sure you have the complete WMF2EPS 1.3x files
(the ZIP archive WMF2EPS1.3.ZIP as found under http://www.wmf2eps.de.vu).
I recommend to have GhostView installed for viewing the EPS files installed together with
WMF2EPS. GhostView can be obtained from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost.
If you have Windows 95,98 or ME, I also recommend getting Adobes enhanced PS driver for Win 9x.
For example, Version 4.26 can be obtaind from
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/aps426eng.exe
or the universal (for all current Windows versions) PS Printer driver archive
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/1.x/winsteng.exe
For Windows 2000/XP the standard PS driver works pretty well, so an update should not be necessary.
1. Unpack WMF2EPS from the ZIP archive to any directory, where you have write permission.
Important: Make sure you unpack the PSPrint\ and Test\ sub directories as well
2. Install the PS driver (see the Help File for details).
3. Start WMF2EPS and test your installation (see the Help File for details).
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
