NAME
     ps2ps, eps2eps - Ghostscript PostScript "distiller"

SYNOPSIS
     ps2ps [ options ] input.ps output.ps
     eps2eps [ options ] input.eps output.eps

DESCRIPTION
     ps2ps uses gs(1) to convert PostScript(tm)  file  "input.ps"
     to  simpler,  normalized  and (usually) faster PostScript in
     "output.ps".   Normally  the  output  is  allowed   to   use
     PostScript  Level  2 or Level 3 constructs, but the -dLangu-
     ageLevel=1 option restricts the output to Level 1.

     eps2eps performs the equivalent  optimization  for  Encapsu-
     lated PostScript (EPS) files.

     Both accept any general Ghostscript  command  line  options,
     and   respectively  options  specific  to  the  pswrite  and
     epswrite devices.

FILES
     Run "gs -h" to find the location of  Ghostscript  documenta-
     tion on your system, from which you can get more details.

BUGS
     The pswrite device used by both ps2ps and  eps2eps  produces
     much lower level output than is desirable. Use with caution.
