[Mac OS X TeX] PS2EPS+ on 10.1

[Tom Kiffe]

If you want to convert a 1-page Postscript file into an eps file
there are at least two ways to accomplish this natively in OS X.

1) Use the ps2epsi script that comes with ghostscript. In addition to
adding a bounding box this script adds a bit preview to the
resulting eps file. This bit preview is not recognized by any Mac
program I know of.

2) The macps2pdf program included in the new MacGhostView 2.5 does the
same thing as ps2epsi except it does not include the bit preview.
The new MacGhostView can add a PICT 256 resource to the resource fork
of the eps file. The new CMacTeX 4.1 has an Apple Script that allows
you to accomplish both tasks at the same time by dropping a Postscript
file onto the script's icon.
