Hi Phil,
Try to generate the eps files using Xwinplot, Coreldraw and Adobe
Illustrator and import them into microsoft documents. Print them out and
look at the quality/resolution of multiplets. One of them will stand out
among all 3 possibilities --- Coreldraw. I would like to know if someone
can verify this. No other software works as well or at least the one I used.
Thanks,
Sandip
