Help,
  Is there anyone out there who could give me some information or suggestions
on aquiring or writing a post script compiler/interpreter for IBM DOS 
post script files.  I would like to pull out all the text and any formatting
that I can get out of the file.  I can view the file in a dos text editor 
but I would really like to be able to get the formatted text out.  I've tried
everything short of decyphering the coded commands and trying to write my own 
code to automate it but I'm not very familiar with postscript.  I have a 
program "txt2ps10.com", from a local bulletin board, that will create a 
postscript file from a text file.  I would like to move back the other way.  
Move from post script to text file.  I would rather not reinvent the wheel 
if a tool like this is already available.
...
Suggestions?, comments?, programs?, anything?

Very much appreciated,
"Phil"
Philip Weber
