[Bf-docboard] particle system

[Stefano Selleri]

EPS is editable with a very old program which should come with any linux
distro
can't recall the exact name (tgif? xgif?) wich I used last time 4-5 years
ago,

Yes, that was the BMP preview, but some programs don't handle EPS
well if they have a preview.

I'll do a search.
