A multiple page eps did not survive importing into Scribus. But a 
single page mup produced document could be imported properly in 
either ps or eps form.  There was a warning message about the font 
Times Roman but it seemed to have no effect on the output.  I 
exported the file from Scribus 1.3.5 to pdf 1.4. The resulting file 
displayed and printed clearly. 

Scribus imports eps or ps files into a graphic item. Graphic items are 
by their nature single page items. So a multiple page eps or ps file 
produces hash. 

I will post the mup source file and the Scribus produced pdf on:
