Well … there is _no_ difference between EPS and EPSF … an EPSF is an
EPS file (ie the `F' stands for `File')
An EPS file is an EPS file is an EPS file … there really is no difference
in the file's content across different platforms and different applications
programs … although it is true that some applications do produce highly
quirky EPSFs.
I haven't tried importing a PPage or PDraw EPSF into Corel so I can't
comment on whether or not you should have a problem … but are you writing
your file (or copying it) to an IBM-format disk or an Amiga-format disk.
Your bureau will not be able to read an Amiga disk and you need to use
something like CrossDOS to create an IBM disk and then write the file out
of the Amiga onto it. You should also click on the IBM-format button as
well, as the Amiga only uses the line-feed character at the end of a line
whereas the IBM machines require a carriage-return and it is possible that
Corel et al cannot handle just a LF.
Unfortunately, I'm not at home for another couple of weeks so can't check
this out hands-on … but this is a first guess at your problem
