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).
