Is there a tool which converts ordinary PostScript to Encapsulated PostScript, including the bit image in PostScript comment? Perhaps the PS interpreter does the job, I don't konw. If it doesn't, is there someone out there who added this feature to the PS interpreter? I need this conversion in order to be able to "preview" EPS files in FrameMaker and prehaps some other applications. Thanks in advance, Martien.

I would like to insert drawings generated by Macdraw into Ventura documents. I can save the Macdraw file as a PS file using the "cmd-F" key combination while printing the file. However, Ventura only takes EPS files. Is there a way I can convert PS to EPS (and vice versa). I would appreciate any information on the subject. Subhash Mittal (201) 957-4687

Note that this is a hack, and may do some unnecessary stuff, and might miss on a few. However I have found that the results always work out fine, and that is what is important ;-). Usage: ps2eps [-v] <filename> takes <filename> as a '.ps' file and creates filename with '.eps'. Will read and write from stdin/stdout, but only at the same time. If you make any changes/improvements e-mail me a copy! - db Oh yeah. You might want to edit the %%BoundingBox: line on the created eps file to customize the image size. ----------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <signal.h> /* EDIT ME !!!!!!!!!!!! */ #define DEFAULT_X 612.0 #define DEFAULT_Y 792.0 #define TRUE 1 #define FALSE 0 int verbose; char rem[60]; /* This program was written by Darcy Brockbank, and is free to be */ /* copied, modified, or thrown in the trash as long as this notice*/ /* remains intact.
