I just got finished merging two PostScript files, one created by PowerPoint
and one created by a math program called MATLAB, and printing them by
sending the raw PS file to the LW with SendPS.  What a pain.

I had to do this because the MATLAB PS file was created on a Sun and I
couldn't think of a way to upload that file to the Mac and convert it
into a PICT file that I could just paste into the PowerPoint presentation.

Is there such a program, PD or commercial, that does this?  Thanks for
any suggestions.
