You should be able to capture the postscript output of most programs into
files using the program itself... most of them allow one to do so.  I do
this all the time with WordPerfect, VP-Graphics and other programs.  One
exception seems to be lotus 1-2-3, though.  However, there are two ways there -
you can read the file into WP and get WP to output postscript.  Or you can
use a postscript screen-dump program like SCRtoPS to capture it into a file.
Actually, there is a third way.. you can read the postscript output of SCRtoPS
into WP and then get WP to print it :-)
