@Kimberly620

AI files are not EPS files, as of version 9 forward. Older AI files are EPS files of sort, so a version 7 or a version 3 file is an EPS. The newer files however are very complex EPS files and quite many software just can not open them as rasterizing requires a full postscript interpreter. But yes a AI version 3 is EPS.

Newer AI files may sometimes be PDF files though, depending on the settings used.

So to summarize: An AI file may be an EPS, it may be a PDF, or it can be neither.
