I'm looking for a utility to convert Postscript to a readable text
file.  I have a postscript-only document (Zen and the Art of the
Internet) that I would like to make available online to my users who
don't have a postscript printer handy.  It doesn't contain graphics.

If it helps, we have ghostscript installed at our site.  Any Unix/Mac/PC
software would do.

Replies by email please.

Jason Black cloister@u.washington.edu posted ps2txt recently. It compiled
easily for OS/2 and MSDOS. I only did limited testing. There is an option
to convert ps files from dvips.
