+ps2eps is a tool (written in Perl) to produce Encapsulated PostScript
+Files (EPS/EPSF) from usual one-paged Postscript documents. It calculates
+correct Bounding Boxes for those EPS files and filters some special
+postscript command sequences that can produce erroneous results on
+printers. EPS files are often needed for including (scalable) graphics of
+high quality into TeX/LaTeX (or even Word) documents.
+
+Without any argument, ps2eps reads from standard input and writes to
+standard output. If filenames are given as arguments they are processed
+one by one and output files are written to filenames with extension .eps.
+If input filenames have the extension .ps or .prn, this extension is
+replaced with .eps. In all other cases .eps is appended to the input
+filename. Please note that PostScript files for input should contain only
+one single page (you can possibly use the psselect from the psutils
+package to extract a single page from a document that contains multiple
+pages).
