The script eps2eps has an annoying side effect. It deletes your files.

  if ...
    TMP=`mktemp /tmp/eps2eps.XXXXXX`
    ...
  else
    ...
  fi
  ...
  trap "rm $TMP* 2>/dev/null" 0

If you don't have 'mktemp' available, or if you run the script with 
two arguments, TMP will be empty, the argument to 'rm' will evaluate 
to * and all your files in the current directory will be deleted.

The setting of TMP should be outside the if-statement, and the script 
should check for the existence of 'mktemp' or something similar.
