I don't think this is true.  I've used HIJAAK (very briefly) and I think
that it will convert to PostScript, but not from PostScript.
As for GoScript, it's not that great.  UltraScript PC is much nicer,
and GhostScript is better yet (it's free and very fast).  These will print
but I'm not sure about producing picture files.
