why i can not convert gmf file to eps file

[Ricardo Hallak]

Hi Chen,

the simplest (maybe the only one) way to solve this problem is to transfer
the .gmf files to a Windows OS again and run the gxeps.exe program in
Windows.

If you have a Windows and need a copy of gxeps.exe for Windows right now,
let me know directly in:
