I have a plain ordinary postscript listing that was created on
a Sun SPARCstation 1 and I want to move it to my Mac in such a
way that it will be readable by programs like PageMaker or 
FreeHand.

I've got the text file on the mac.  Programs won't read this
The Postscript programmer on the Sun then made an eps version
which I also moved to the Mac.  This gave the error message
"Not a valid eps file" when freehand tried to import it.

Question:  Is there a utility that will take an ordinary 
Postscript listing and convert it to a Mac readable format?

What lines of code must I put at the beginning and end of my
Postscript listing to make a Mac program recognize it?

Thanks in advance.
