This gets asked so often that I usually ignore the question and followups.
(I'm not complaining, mind you. I asked the question myself almost two
years ago.)  But I happened to read a couple of the followups recommending
Adobe's Transcript and Elan's products.  I've got nothing bad to say
about either of those -- I haven't used them.  I do have lots of good to say
about a product called "devps" from Pipeline Associates (publishers of
the ever-elusive PostScript Language Journal).  We've been using devps
here for 18 months and we're very happy with it. It's a commercial product,
so it's not free, but it's not very inexpensive.  It costs only $395 (down
$100 from a year ago) for a single-machine _source_ license, or $795 for a
site source license.  It took about 20 minutes to "port" [:-)] the source
to our system.  For your money you get more than just an [ntxyz]roff-to-
PostScript converter, you get several very useful auxiliary programs as well.

Here's Pipeline's address out of the most recent PSLJ:

Pipeline Associates, Inc.
239 Main Street
West Orange, NJ 07052
