      Produce Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS/EPSF) from a one-page
      Postscript document, or any PostScript document. A correct
      Bounding Box is calculated for those EPS files and some
      PostScript command sequences that can produce errorneous results
      on printers are filtered. The input is essentially cropped to
      include just the image contained in the PostScript file. The EPS
      files can then be included 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 they round it off,
      resulting in clipping 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).
