Is it possible to save something from Quark in ASCII encapsulated
postscript form?  I've been trying to help someone save an image from
Quark in encapsulated postscript format, and all he can get is a
postscript file with a binary header and trailer, with all the newlines
in the postscript text removed.  Since the newlines in the postscript
text are all gone, the postscript text has the tokens at the end of
what would have been lines 'glued' to the tokens at the beginning of
what would have been following lines.  This makes the postscript text
useless.

If there isn't a way to save the figure as ASCII EPS, does anyone have
a program which can read the Quark binary EPS format and produce
regular ASCII EPS?  I imagine the binary header and trailer record
where the newlines should be....
