The PS code is missing all of its procedure definitions; it looks rather like an Adobe Illustrator .AI file, v6 or earlier (except that Adobe would supply the application name in the "Creator" comment), in that it relies on an external "header", "prolog" (note that there's nothing between the "BeginProlog" and "EndProlog" comments), or "prep" file. You could try renaming it with an .AI to see if Photoshop or Illustrator will recognize the 'shorthand', but it appears that the best result you can expect will be incomplete; even if you were to reconstruct the prolog by assuming "m" means "moveto", "l" "lineto", "c" "curveto", "f" "fill", and so on, there would still be a problem in that the script seems to end prematurely, leaving six numbers on the operand stack and an unfinished, unpainted path on the graphics stack. --Odysseus
