The EOS collaboration has recently completed its experimental program in relativistic heavy ion collisions at the Bevalac. The EOS Time Projection Chamber was utilized along with other complimentary detectors to reconstruct the collisions as completely as possible on an event by event basis. A comprehensive data set of over 8 x 10{sup 6} events spanning the entire range of projectile masses and energies available from the Bevalac is currently being analyzed. The unique capabilities of the EOS experiment will be described with an emphasis on flow and multifragmentation measurements. Early results on the mass and energy dependence of collective flow will be presented and the search for critical behavior in the fragment yield distributions will be discussed.
