I did. this is the ps2ascii that came with gs 5.5:
#!/bin/sh
# $Id: ps2ascii $
# Extract ASCII text from a PostScript file. Usage:
# ps2ascii [infile.ps [outfile.txt]]
# If outfile is omitted, output goes to stdout.
# If both infile and outfile are omitted, ps2ascii acts as a filter,
# reading from stdin and writing on stdout.
trap "rm -f _temp_.err _temp_.out" 0 1 2 15
if ( test $# -eq 0 ) then
gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dNOBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dSIMPLE -c save -f
ps2ascii.ps - -c quit
elif ( test $# -eq 1 ) then
gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dNOBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dSIMPLE -c save -f
ps2ascii.ps $1 -c quit
else
gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dNOBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dSIMPLE -c save -f
ps2ascii.ps $1 -c quit >$2
fi
so -dSAFER is not used (unless it is implied by another flag, such as
-dSIMPLE)..
