News
- Oct 28, 1998: (pstoedit-2.60-2a).
Rebuilt with an unofficial and temporary patch to make it
work with ghostscript-5.50jp:
somehow ghostscript-5.50 does not allow systemdict modifications.
The patch works around this problem, giving up PDF support.
It works for PS and I think it's much better than nothing.
- May 15, 1998: (pstoedit-2.41-1a,pstoedit-2.60-1a).

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
