   Does anyone know of a way to convert a standard text postscript file
   to any of the Mac object-oriented graphics formats?

   Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Well, if the PostScript file contains Encapsulated PostScript (i.e.,
has the proper comments, bounding box info, etc.), you might be able
to open it in Illustrator or Freehand.  Then you should be able to
save the results out with a PICT representation, which will be usable
in any Mac program.

I haven't tried this myself, so I don't know for sure whether it
works.  Worth a try, though.
