How can I convert a PostScript file created with a UNIX program to the Mac?

A way that is clumsy, but works, is this:

1.

Display the UNIX-based PostScript file on screen

2.

Use window dumping facility to get a bitmap file

3.

Convert the above bitmap file to TIFF format and then export it to Adobe Illustrator on the Mac.

The PostScript section of the FAQ for the Macintosh newsgroup comp.sys.mac.apps (maintained by Elliotte Harold) answers the following questions:

• How do I make a PostScript file?
• How do I print a PostScript file?
• Why won't my PostScript file print on my mainframe's printer?

  Full documentation of this process provided with a utility called macps.

• Why are my PostScript files so big?
