If you know that .eps is encapsulated postscript you can get a little
more useful info:-
$ apt-cache search encap | grep eps
epstool - edit preview images and fix bounding boxes in EPS files
octave-epstk - GNU Octave encapsulated postscript toolkit
ps2eps - convert PostScript to EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files
purifyeps - creates EPS files usable in TeX and pdfTeX
Sadly it still misses:-
;a number of viewers
;several editors (GIMP[*1], Draw, Scribus, and others)
After apt-cache this list is probably the best resource.
Cheers
[*1] Yes - despite, um, mistaken beliefs, GIMP will happily edit .eps
files. (gimp-registry uses ghostscript).
