EPS files are "Encapsulated PostScript" files -- they are for
images that are designed to be placed within other kinds of files,
e.g. included within another PostScript file as a graphical element
somewhere on a page.
As such, they have no real concept of a paper size, because they
are just some subset of a page.
A conforming EPS file should have a BoundingBox (or HiResBoundingBox)
comment, however, to allow applications to determine how large the
image in the EPS file is, and thus place and/or scale it appropriately
on the page.
