      Description: PostScript to Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) conversion utility

      Long Description: ps2eps is a tool (written in Perl) to produce Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS/EPSF) from usual one-paged PostScript documents. It calculates correct bounding boxes for those EPS files and filters some special PostScript command sequences that can produce erroneous results on printers. EPS files are often needed for including (scalable) graphics of high quality into TeX/LaTeX (or even Word) documents.
