I am looking for a program that will read a postscript file
and write it out in a format that can be loaded by "Pagestream"
- possibly IFF?
If anybody has heard of such a program I would be most glad to
hear from you!
chris.

PageStream can import PostScript files directly. Be sure to have the EPS.Import driver in your PSDrivers directory. Choose "Project-Import- Graphics" in the program and select the file to import. Refer to the "PostScript" section of your manual. Of course, PageStream cannot interpret an EPS file so you aren't able to actually see how the file looks (It just displays a rectangle corresponding to the size of the Postcript file's bounding box). If you rely on output to non-postscript printers, get a PostScript Interpreter like the commercial "PixelScript" or the excellent freely distributable "Post 1.1" (available on several ftp sites like the "new xanth"). > chris@tharr.uucp ..!ukc!axion!tharr!chris -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin A.

Re: Program to allow PageStream to read PostScript file. Try PageStream. It is supposed to read Encapsulated PostScript files and print them out. It won't show you the contents or let you edit them however. I think PageStream 2.0 has, or will have, the ability to view the EPS preview picture for PC EPS files. -- Jerry Thompson | // checks ___________ | "I'm into S&M, "What I want to know is, have | \\ // and | | | | Sarcasm and you ever seen Claude Rains?" | \X/ balances /_\ | /_\ | Mass Sarcasm."

What's the difference? How can I "encapsulate" real postscript. Regards Alan ps: The HP-GL -> Postscript converter works fine and I can post if desired.
