I know this is going to sound strange.  But I would like to be able
to turn a Postscript document into a plain text file.  The reason is
that I would like to run it thru a spelling checker - and I have yet
to find one which can interpret most PostScript mangled texts.  For instance,
most words in such documents do not even appear as words, but as pieces
of words positioned on the page...

any ideas?
