I think the last version of PixPro had some sort of PostScript importer.
Also, the upcoming new version of ProVector (v3) from
Stylus (303/484-7321) can load EPS files created on any
platform, and it will either have a LightWave saver or one will
follow sometime after the main release, according to Stylus.
The beauty of using ProVector for objects is not only that
it'll load EPS files, but also that it has very nice bezier
curve and freehand vector drawing tools for creating
objects. It also has PostScript font support. So it should
be very useful for designing or importing logos for later
extrusion in LW Modeler, or creating outlines of objects
for later lathing in Modeler.
