I'm a bit confused. Gimp is a raster paint program. If you read a PS file,
you'll convert it to raster image. If you then export it to EPS, it's not
a vector image anymore, is it?
No, it isn't, and you get a corresponding drop in quality, but it's the
best I knew of until this.
Here's a tool to convert:

Is there a way to get this onto Freshmeat? I just checked, and it isn't
listed.
Well, I don't know why you would want it on freshmeat? Announcements there
are mainly about projects hosted at sourceforge.net, even though some
projects have just a project page there, just to appear in the freshmeat
list. This project is hosted in a University in Germany, they seem to
have their own resources...
To find it, I just took a gamble, and searched google.com for ps2eps. I
thought that might be a good name for such a utility. There are others
with the same name. I haven't tried pstoeps yet... Might exist too.
In reality, the conversion from ps to eps is quite simple - I believe
it's documented at the Adobe site somewhere.

John
