Thomas,

You should be able to use one of several options:

  open plotfile.ps      # should open in Preview.app, allowing convert/save to 
pdf
  /usr/bin/pstopdf

  ps2pdf                # if you’ve installed ghostscript or other toolchains


Don’t forget, you may need to add:

        9 grap plotfile | 9 pic | 9troff -mm | 9 tr2post | 9 psfonts  > 
plotfile.ps
