Just ask the person who gave you the postscript for the source document in ascii form! I worry about the availability of such decoding tool in general, because my colleagues and I use postscript as a relatively secure method (secure from cut and paste plagiarism, at least) to prepublish scientific papers. Postscript was specifically chosen over TeX precisely for its ability to obscure the source text. -- Jordan Pollack Assistant Professor CIS Dept/OSU Laboratory for AI Research 2036 Neil Ave Email: pollack@cis.ohio-state.edu Columbus, OH 43210 Fax/Phone: (614) 292-4890
