Or you can use the mac application: info-mac/util/add-lprep .hqx . It 
avoids the possible hassle of installing macps. (especially if you aren't
using a unix machine)

You should also get the file info-mac/tips/generating-postscript.txt

I've used macps successfully for files from many applications, but mostly
Word 4.0. You can also get the file: non-apple-laserprep or something like
that. It saves you a few steps if you are inatalling macps. I forget the
directory.
