dislin / PIL / cropping EPS

[Duncan Smith]

Hello,
         Can anyone advise me how to crop an EPS image generated by dislin.
I can't figure out how to crop the image before generating it.  Using PIL to
crop the generated image I get an IOError (apparently because I'm using
Windows).  I could use other file formats, but I'm not too keen on the
results I'm getting from using e.g. .tif.  Basically I need to copy
(publication quality) images created in dislin and paste them into word
documents (but not manually).  Cropping after pasting would be an option,
but I haven't (yet) played around with COM enough to know if this is easily
done.  Cheers.

Duncan
