Does anyone know of the existence of a program/filter that lets you
get EPSI ( the ASCII/machine-independent bitmap) from an EPSF
(encapsulated postscript) file?  

This came up because I am trying to include IBM-PC AutoCAD output in a
FRAMEMAKER document.  AutoCAD tacks the BoundingBox statement at the end
of the postscript output.  This can be editted by hand (or simple
shell-script) and placed at the beginning where it belongs.  With it
there, I can include the postscript in FRAMEMAKER as a imported EPSF file.

The only problem with this is that I cannot see the picture of the included
file in the document.  I want to be able to do this.  Is this possible?
