What is the best way to get the title (%%TITLE) from a postscript file?
Is the %%TRAILER keyword mandatory in a postscript file?
Is the following statement true? : The correct %%TITLE is either the last one appearing in any trailers or the one at the beginning of the file.

I hope you can help me
Peter

Bear in mind it is %%Title: - always mixed case like that, always a
colon after Title.

You should search the comments at the start. There is no title unless
the %%Title: is present.

The comments continue until %%EndComments, or until the first
non-comment line (that is, the first line which does not start with a
% sign - not just %%).  

If and only if you find %%Title: (atend) you should go to the end of
the document and search for %%Trailer than look for a %%Title there.

These and more questions are answered in the DSC reference, which you
should find on http://partners.adobe.com/ > ASN > Technotes >
PostScript.
