The software Postility Toolkit by Postcraft can recover Pict and/or text 
from an encapsulated postscript file and save it.  Another product, MacRip  
(now called Tscript) by TeleTypesetting can take postscript code 
and display it on the screen.  Unfortunately it can only display
it on the screen and Tscript requires a locally connected 
Postscript engine (printer), appletalk connected won't work. 
 
I don't think that this is exactly what you wanted.  I am looking for the  
same thing, i.e. a tool that will take a postscript file (not eps) 
and produce a pict file (or any other mac format) from it.  Thus 
the reason I have bought and used Tscript and Postility. 
 
If you (or anyone out there) come across the tool I need, please 
let me know.
