Very easy: MacWrite (or any other application) to print the file. Tell
the print dialog OK, and immediately type (and hold!) Command F.
Instead of actually printing the document, the LaserWriter driver will
write it to a file (that it calls postscript, as I recall.)

If you type Command C instead of Command F, the LaserPrep header (30K
or so) will not be stuck at the beginning of the file.
