Mathematica, like (far too) many other programs, uses a dialect of postscript
requiring a definition file to be pre-pended to the file in question.
The implementations of Mathematica i've worked with have some utility
 program (psview?) which does that job.  In the ultrix (DEC's version of Unix)
version you tell it what file you want converted, and it spits it to "standard
 output"... so the actual "just gimme a file!" command is
  psview infile >outfile
and then outfile is ready-to-go postscript (not EPSF)
