That is not true.  If she does not need WYSIWYG display, she can turn on the
printer code option of the textrect and import the PS program as text.
The printed page will show the PS graphics.  See P. 3-86 in Reference Manual.

The other way to do it is to put the following line in the printer code
textrect:
	#include "name-of-the-PS-program"
Make sure the line ends with a CR.

I am also interested in a convertor from generic PS to Adobe Illustrator
format.  Since Adobe Illustrator generates very nice EPSF output for both
Mac and PC, you can get whatever you want from there.

I had some success converting a PS porgram into Adobe Illustrator format 
using sed.  It was a fluke though, the file did not use any fancy code.
