not realy no... note by the way if illustrator parses the file wrong then the eps is likely to be worng! OR its has some looping mechanism that generates something esoteric inside it (postscript is a programming language so your free to generate any kind of problematic stuff inside them, even code that has errors in it). And in theese cases its noit so easy for a vector eingene to understand it fully. Wich is what maya is only interested in so.
Anyway generic eps is not a easy thing to understand.
Anyway having 5 years worth of postscript debugging experience id say that theres 2 things you can try. Distill it to postscript with adobe distiller then try to open that in illustrator. OR use the unix eps to eps that tries to simplify teh eps roitines out to vector and use teht directly or thru illustrator.
THeese 2 tricks have helpped me more than a thousand time sto print stuff that had eps thats realy realy bad and hard for the rip eingene to chew. But even then ive seen certain wonky powerpoint files that i coldnt fix untill i got my hand on the original and pritted in a different version of powerpoint. And a few latex ones. And yes sometimes corel draw is a pure nightmare.
Note i knwo many applicationbs that do generic eps that print realy well on most printers but whan you bring them to a printshop that uses a printter with REAL adobe licenced postscript eingene it prints worng...
