Hi!

Just use ps2epsi afterwards - it is in ghostsccript package.

I think this feature should not be included in dia.

The reason is philosophy. In Linux/UNIX 
tasks which can be performed by a simple and robust standalone
tools should not be included in all possible kinds
of related software bloating it unnecessarily.

In addition  EPSI files are usually larger
so unless one needs them - they should not be used.

Just try ps2epsi and if it works, please
write the doc for this topic.

Good Luck,

Jacek
