Tracking down where you are is pretty tricky - it can be done on an
error, but if you don't have one it's much harder.

If programmatic terms you could try this:

Read the PostScript file a line at a time, in a program that will
preserve indefinitely long lines and binary data (vital!)

Whenever you find a line starting with a %%, follow it with a new line
(...\n) print flush

The ... can be the line itself. That way you can track the progress of
the file through %% lines, which are generally sprinkled liberally
through the file. (But check that they ARE sprinkled liberally before
investing much time).

I've had to use this technique on occasion to deal with files that
won't RIP.
