Converting PostScript to EPS

[ssidner %! at !% unmc.edu (Steve Sidner)]

 I recently received a newsletter from Qualix, a vendor of Unixware (The
 Qualix Group, 1-800-245-UNIX, info %! at !% qualix.com).  In it was a tip on
 converting PostScript files to Encapsulated PostScript files by hand.
 I haven't tried it yet - Caveat programmer!
 I quote:
 	The top of a regular PostScript file looks something like this:
 		%!PS-Adobe-2.0
 		%%Creator: NiftyZap
 		%%Title: Resource Histogram
 		%%CreationDate:
 		%%Pages: (atend)
 		%%BoundingBox: 36.000 36.000 720.000 540.000
 		%%EndComments
 	The top of an Encapsulated PostScript file looks like this:
 		%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.0
 		%%Creator: NiftyZap
 		%%Title: Resource Histogram
 		%%CreationDate:
 		%%Pages: (atend)
 		%%BoundingBox: 36 36 720 540
 		%%EndComments
 	To make your PostScript file look like an Encapsulated
 PostScript file:
 1.  Make a backup of your PostScript output.
 2.  Open your PostScript file in a text editor.
 3.  Add the characters "EPSR-1.0" to the end of the first line.
 4.  If necessary, change the bounding box numbers to integers instead
     of floating-point numbers.
 5.  Save your modified file.
 	Now try importing the file as an Encapsulated PostScript file into your word
 processor.  Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, you'll discover that, in this
 case, cheating isn't all bad.
