Ghostscript has the ability to do this conversion using a perl script and the bundled utilities.
That is true, but than i also can generate eg. a Xfig format file and use fig2dev. I think it is not so much work to add a eps to the printformat because there are only 2 differences. The bounding box and the showpage command.
The showpage command can maybe easily removed from the ps file after creation, but the comoutation of the bounding box might be tricky.

Are you and netterfield the same person or do you just have the same homework assignment?
Nope! definetiey not the same person. I'm a newbe regarding QT and C++ and try to lern both with a small report generator project. For this I have to generate some sketches. At the moment I use Perl to write a xfig file and than convert it to eps to import it in M$Wörg
