Cannot open .eps file

I have a 400k .eps file that I am trying to open in PhotoShop 9.0. I get
the error message "Could not complete your request because the parser module
cannot parse the file". What does that mean?

Can anyone help me open the file and save it in another format?

Thanks.

Chuck

What it means is that Photoshop can not understand the file, or possibly
that the file is not really an EPS at all.

For starters, open the EPS in a plain text editor such as Notepad or
Wordpad. EPS files are text; you should see some headers on the screen
that look like this:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
%%Creator: [the name of the program that made the EPS]
%%Title: [the name of the EPS file]
%%CreationDate: [the date it was made]
%%DocumentProcessColors: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
%%DocumentFonts: Times-Roman
%%DocumentData: Binary
%%LanguageLevel: 1
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 2041 85


and so on. Do you see this? If so, what does it say the document creator
is?
