shortdesc Produce Encapsulated PostScript from PostScript.
longdesc Produce Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS/EPSF) from a one-
longdesc page PostScript document, or any PostScript document. A correct
longdesc Bounding Box is calculated for the EPS files and some
longdesc PostScript command sequences that can produce errorneous
longdesc results on printers are filtered. The input is cropped to
longdesc include just the image contained in the PostScript file. The
longdesc EPS files can then be included into TeX documents. Other
longdesc programs like ps2epsi (a script distributed with ghostscript)
longdesc don't always calculate the correct bounding box (because the
longdesc values are put on the PostScript stack which may get corrupted
longdesc by bad PostScript code) or they round it off, resulting in
longdesc clipping the image. Therefore ps2eps uses a resolution of 144
longdesc dpi to get the correct bounding box. The bundle includes
longdesc binaries for Linux, Solaris, Digital Unix or Windows
longdesc 2000/9x/NT; for other platforms, the user needs perl,
longdesc ghostscript and an ANSI-C compiler. Included in the
longdesc distribution is the bbox program, an application to produce
longdesc Bounding Box values for rawppm or rawpbm format files.
