The best way is to use a PostScript development tool to draw the 
PostScript to a Window, then save as a PICT with embedded PS. I *think* 
that LaserTalk, by Emerald City Software, will allow you to do this. It 
is available from APDA for $215. Other commercial sources should carry 
it as well.
 
You could then use a number of tools to convert from PICT with embedded 
PS to EPS. One would be The Curator, from Solutions, Inc. Tantalizingly, 
The Curator converts *from* a number of formats *to* PostScript, but not 
the reverse. A call to Solutions might elicit other PostScript to EPS 
suggestions.
