I sincerely doubt that Curator can convert an arbitrary PostScript file,
since it would have to either read the bitmap back from the printer, or have
an entire PostScript interpreter embedded in it.  I bet if you read the fine
print you'll discover that it can convert *TO* PostScript, and it can take
the TIFF or PICT "thumbnail" image from certain EPS files and convert those,
but it can't actually convert the PostScript.

I sent my copy of the Curator back because it turned out it only converts
*B&W* TIFF files -- pretty useless.

After 18 months of looking at image conversion programs, I've come to the
conclusion that there are lies, damn lies, and claims made by conversion
programs.  Make sure you have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
