What is necessary to convert postscript files normally on their way
to a printer into EPS files which can be loaded and manipulated further?

I haven't come across anything that explicitly defines the relationship
between PS and EPS.  Pagemaker's manual for example says that EPS is just
'well-behaved' PS i.e. no showpage's etc.  Pagemaker also says that its
EPS filter will rip out showpage's etc.  The result is no errors, but
no output either.

thx, kk
