Yes, there is no support on OS X for rendering Postscript (this
includes EPSes). OS X supposedly is capable of rendering the preview,
if there is one, but I don't think I've actually seen this in action.
Can anyone give me a clue about what to study to get the eps image in
my document, on the screen, and printing???
You need to convert the EPS to PDF or include software within your
application to render EPS to screen.
The conversion can be done using a distiller, such as Acrobat,
Ghostscript, Jaws or PStill. (My own WhiteLightning distiller isn't
available yet).
If you don't want the EPS to be converted, then you will need internal
rendering code.

I happen to have Objective-C frameworks that will render Postscript
(including EPS) using Quartz. AFAIK, it is the only Postscript
interpreter that is fully integrated with Quartz.
