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 errorneous results on
printers. EPS files are needed for including (scalable) graphics
into TeX documents. Other programs like "ps2epsi" don't always
calculate the correct bounding box (because the values are put
on the PostScript stack which may get corrupted by bad
PostScript code) or rounded it off so that clipping the EPS cut
some part of the image. Therefore ps2eps uses a resolution of
144 dpi to get the correct bounding box. ps2eps needs perl,
ghostscript and an ANSI-C compiler if your platform is not
Linux, Solaris, Digital Unix or Windows 2000/9x/NT (binaries
included).
