The first place I'd look in a PS file is in the header comments, specifically "%%Creator:". But DSC comments aren't strictly required (although PS documents lacking them are called "nonconforming"), so you may end up in the murky realm of "idiom recognition". Likewise if the Creator comment is a person's name rather than an application's. -- Odysseus
