ps2eps is a tool (written in Perl) to produce Encapsulated PostScript
Files (EPS/EPSF) from usual one-paged Postscript documents. It calculates
correct Bounding Boxes for those EPS files and filters some special
postscript command sequences that can produce erroneous results on
printers. EPS files are often needed for including (scalable) graphics of
high quality into TeX/LaTeX (or even Word) documents.
Without any argument, ps2eps reads from standard input and writes to
standard output. If filenames are given as arguments they are processed
one by one and output files are written to filenames with extension .eps.
If input filenames have the extension .ps or .prn, this extension is
replaced with .eps. In all other cases .eps is appended to the input
filename. Please note that PostScript files for input should contain only
one single page (you can possibly use the psselect from the psutils
package to extract a single page from a document that contains multiple
pages).
