I have a modified batch file ps2eps, which does tha same as ps2epsi
excewpt creating the preview. I.e it distills the ps file so that it
will be (almost) EPS compliant and has the correct bounding box. See
attachment.


@echo off 
@rem "Distill" Postscript to Encapsulated PostScript.

if "%1"=="" goto usage
if "%2"=="" goto usage

gswin32c -q -sDEVICE#epswrite -sOutputFile#%2 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dDEVICEWIDTH#250000 -dDEVICEHEIGHT#250000 %1
goto end

:usage
echo "Usage: ps2eps input.ps output.eps"

:end
