See pages 14 et seq (ooh, I hope I used that correctly) in:
http://www.npes.org/standards/Tools/5002_EPSF_Spec.pdf
As for how I found that: first, I looked through my dead-tree copy of
the red book (postscript language manual, 2nd ed), which does have
some code for EPSF embedding. Then I thought I'd look at the on-line
copy of the 3rd version of the PS ref manual:
http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/pdfs/PLRM.pdf
But it has removed the EPSF code and tells you to look at "Technical
Note 5002". I couldn't find such a note on the adobe site, but the
NPES site above had a copy of it.
If that isn't sufficient, let me know, and I can copy in the EPSF code
from the 2nd ed.
