Origin

The original source file has been retrieved from
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/pstoedit/pstoedit.html
I have prepared an unofficial patch: pstoedit.2.60-gs5.patch to work around a problem with ghostscript-5.50. The package building procedure is given in the SPEC files: pstoedit.spec.

Installation Instructions

You need to preinstall "ghostscript" to use "pstoedit".
# rpm -Uvh pstoedit-2.60-2a.ppc.rpm

Usage

In writing transparencies, it often becomes necessary to include some PS figure. It's highly desirable that the included file be editable. Pstoedit allows you to do it. You can translate PS to xfig, tgif, gnuplot, ... etc. so that you can do, for instance:

$ pstoedit -f fig foo.ps foo.fig
$ xfig foo.fig
or
$ pstoedit -f tgif foo.ps foo.obj
$ tgif foo.obj
or
$ pstoedit -f idraw foo.ps foo.idraw
$ drawtool foo.idraw
