.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
10 |
\fBps2ps\fR uses \fIgs\fR(1) to convert \fBPostScript\fR(tm) file
|
|
|
11 |
"input.ps" to simpler, normalized and (usually) faster PostScript in
|
|
|
12 |
"output.ps". Normally the output is allowed to use PostScript Level 2
|
|
|
13 |
or Level 3 constructs, but the \fB\-dLanguageLevel=1\fR option restricts
|
|
|
14 |
the output to Level 1.
|
|
|
15 |
.PP
|
|
|
16 |
\fBeps2eps\fR performs the equivalent optimization for Encapsulated
|
|
|
17 |
PostScript (EPS) files.
|
|
|
18 |
.PP
|
|
|
19 |
Both accept any general Ghostscript command line options, and
|
|
|
20 |
respectively options specific to the pswrite and epswrite devices.
|
|
|
21 |
.SH FILES

|
|

|
|
|
24 |
.SH BUGS
|
|
|
25 |
The pswrite device used by both \fBps2ps\fR and \fBeps2eps\fR produces much
|
|
|
26 |
lower level output than is desirable. Use with caution.
