EPSSaveOptions not saving to Legacy EPS formats

[benh11105221]

Hi! I'm super new to scripting, so hopefully I'm not missing something obvious. I have icons designed in Ai that I am prepping to batch import over into Fontlab, which can import EPS files, but only in the Illustrator 8 EPS legacy format. I can get my code to save as an EPS, but I cannot seem to get it to save it to the right legacy format. When I use the menu items to save it as an EPS without scripting, I can set it to Illustrator 8 and have no problems. But for some reason my script cant acheive that exact legacy file.

This is the way that I am currently saving out these eps files, which is a part of a larger loop where I open files, strip some unnecessary fluff, then save them as an EPS and move onto the next file:

var epsOptions = new EPSSaveOptions(); 

epsOptions.compatability = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR8; 

currentDoc.saveAs( files, epsOptions ); 

Any suggestions, or is there something that I'm missing? This seems straightforward, but I'm kinda pulling my hair out.

Thanks!
