Does anyone have a program to make a PostScript file DSC compliant?

The idea is to take an arbitrary PostScript file, run it through
a program and produce a DSC 3.0 compliant PS file that prints the
same.  You can sort of do this with a PostScript previewer by
producing a bitmap for every page but that is not what I am
looking for.  The DSC compliant output should print the same as
the original at *any* resolution.  Can this be done?  Has anyone
done this?  I am envisioning something like Glen Reid's
distillery program.

Well, okay, not just *any* arbitrary PS file, something that does
`showpage' in a loop would be impossible to transform this way,
but the vast majority of PS files aren't like that.  If I can
transform PS files produced by old/non-compliant versions of
dvi*ps, framemaker, etc. I will be more than happy.

Thanks!
