[Bf-docboard] Some edits

[Alex Heizer]

Hi,

I tried opening several EPSes with xfig, and didn't have success with 
any of them. These were either created in Freehand or downloaded from 
arttoday.com, and work in other programs, such as Photoshop or 
QuarkXpress. I got a few different errors with different files, and 
didn't seem like it would open them. When I did get one to open, it 
didn't display, as though it raterized it, but didn't have a preview.
