Nick,
What are you trying to import postscripts files of? Text, images, graphics?
Just on the surface, it seems like a kind of goofball thing to want to do (not that I haven’t wanted to do a few goofball things myself from time to time).
If you tell us what your end goal is, there might be another way to skin the same cat.

P.S. You ask for a command line program. Do Unix, DOS, CP/M? If you are interested in Unix, you may try ImageMagik, it is a very powerful image program that we use on our webhost. We are only using it to automatically generate the thumbnail pictures for our picture gallery pages, but it is much more powerful than that. I have not looked into whether ImageMagik can help you or not, but you may want to check it out at the link below. Good Luck

I see that I have mis-spelled ‘Magick’ in ImageMagick.
Ah well… …I suppose I should just let it pass, but someone may actually need the correct spelling to find the product so…
In this case, ‘Magic’ is officially mis-spelled in the following way ‘ImageMagick’ not ‘ImageMagik’ as I had inappropriately mis-spelled it in my last message. Clear?
