Nope. Neither program has a PostScript interpreter. Illustrator creates
a very special PostScript syntax through use of extensive definitions.
Illustrator can parse this special syntax to create a bitmap file, but
it cannot interpret general PostScript. The only practical way to
write PostScript into Illustrator syntax is to use the Illustrator
draw tools! I assume Freehand works similarly.
