Since EPS files are really a sort of vector-based script (PostScript),
There's no 1:1 correlation between EPS data and raster data without going
through an interpreter. Your options are:
1. Write a PostScript interpreter. Hope you've got a year or 4...

2. Use somebody else's interpreter. GhostScript is very good, supports PS
Level 3 completely,  and is available in a DLL form that can be used in your
applications. See http://www.ghostscript.org. You'll need to bone up on
PostScript a bit to really get a good idea of what's going on, but it's not
THAT mind bending. BNF notation is annoying, though.. =)

Somebody else in the group has a commercial PostScript decoder  - Joe Hecht,
I think? - that also looks very good.

Start a conversation que via wincmd into a jpg file.
If the thread is ready reload your image.

GhostScript is also available as a DLL.
