Use Wordperfect itself. Select a printer in Wordperfect which matches the
postscript printer which will ultimately print your document, but define
the port which the driver will use to be a file, not a port. Voila! The
file will contain the postscript which would normally be sent to the
printer port. The details to do this are in your Wordperfect manuals
(but approximately, from memory - version 5.1):

    DOS				WINDOWS
    * Shift-F7			File-->Print	to print
    * S				Select		select printer
    * 2 (Add)			Add		if you must add your printer
    * 3 (Edit)			Setup		change printer setup details
    * 2 (Port)			Port-->		specify where output goes ...
    * 8 (Other)			    -->File	... to a non-standard place
    * Device or Filename:	Filename	give full path + filename

Hope this helps. Your only problem then is to get the file onto Unix :-).
