Hi Col,
I don't know if this will help you or not as I've just realised there might be a slight snag depending on what software your running, I'm on XP with 'Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0' and your probably on Windows 7 ? I've done quite a bit of CAD with Autocad but not with eMachineshop so I downloaded the program and made a simple test drawing, as you said this can only be saved as a .ems file so I then went into export and saved it as an 'AutoCAD R12/LT12DXF[.dxf]' which is one of the five options, I was then able to open it with 'Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0' and save it as a .jpeg. now I don't know what imaging software you have but if you export it as a .dxf file you can see if you can open it with what you've got.
If you can't open it there is another way to do it and that is to download from Autodesk a free viewer which will let you view the drawing, print it off and possibly save it as a .jpeg if you want, you said you are reluctant to download programs but Autodesk is one of the most reputable websites there is.
Regards
John
