ps2txt was recently announced (posted?) on this group. It compiled with only
one small change for OS/2 and MSDOS.

/*  Jason Black, Feb 22 1992

Input can come from stdin, from '-' or from a file named on the command line:
Flags: -dvi for use with dvitps PostScript files.
Usage:
                ps2txt [-dvi] [-] [input_file.ps]

ps2txt.c extracts strings from a PostScript file.  This version has been
modified to correctly deal with the oddities of PostScript files generated by
dvi-to-PostScript converters, so if you keep this and the original program
around, you might want to rename one of them.
