EPS is a specialized format used primarily for importing PostScript into other applications. EPS files contain information in them, that allow an importing application to know the extent of the marks on the PostScript page. They are also restricted to a single page of output in them.
EPSI are EPS files that have a "preview bitmap" that represents the PostScript image contained in the file. This bitmap can be used by an importing application to display quickly a picture of the imported file. This is used by applications that do not have a built-in PostScript interpreter. As of Version 4.0, the "preview bitmap" output by the PSWorkstation does not represent the picture contained in the EPSI file, but rather is simply a bitmap containing the message: APPLICATION CANNOT DISPLAY NCAR GRAPHIC HERE. VIEW THE POSTSCRIPT OUTPUT TO VERIFY SUCCESSFUL IMPORT.
Default: "ps"

stdout
FILE pointer in the UNIX environment. The
PSWorkstation object will attempt to resolve pathnames that
start with the "~" character.
Default: <dynamic>
This resource defaults to the name of the PSWorkstation
object with the wkPSFormat as a suffix. For example, "workname.ps".
Default: False
One advantage of lowering the wkPSResolution would be to make the actual size of the PostScript file smaller, although the difference is rather modest.
Default: 1800
