----- Forwarded message from Roland Bless -----
- I just uploaded an updated version of the ps2eps tool
to ftp.dante.de. It's all in the subdir /incoming/ps2eps.
- You can replace the existing version in "support/ps2eps"
- The program is licensed under gpl.
Due to a major bugfix, please announce the update
-- if admissible -- as follows to CTAN-ANN.
ps2eps 1.45 in CTAN:support/ps2eps
==================================
ps2eps is a tool 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 errorneous results on printers.
You need:
- perl (an interpreter for the perl language, see http://www.perl.com)
- ghostscript (an interpreter/raster image processor
for the PostScript language,
see http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/)
- maybe an ANSI-C compiler if you don't use Linux, Solaris, Digital Unix,
HP-UX or Windows 9x/NT/2000.
- The program is licensed under gpl.
Main changes 1.39 -> 1.45
----------------------------
Please note:
Versions <=1.42 may have changed postscript output by
filtering too much postscript instructions. This could
have been lead to wrongly colored boxes and text. Please
consider re-running ps2eps over your files now. Sorry for
the inconvenience!
- corrected filter for deleting initclip instead of rectangles
- option processing is done by GetOpt, i.e. long options are
available, too. Syntax for -s has changed therefore.
- Wildcards are resolved within the program, thus Windows users
will profit from it.

Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old
version in CTAN:/support/ps2eps/
