Hi I just thought I would mention I finally found source of the
program "pstotext" the other day...

I build it on osX and it successfully translated some old .ps and .pdf
files. Some files better than others, some near perfect and next down
a few wrong characters (such as crossed equal sign for some dashes).

One file I was hoping for was maybe 20% trouble, it was funny to start
with as text-to-speech in Reader didn't work ...

-------------

I am not sure if this program might build a vintage runnable copy. I
build it on osX, but I do have a 68k mac compiler, haven't used it
much.

Hope this might help someone struggling with old pagemaker files.

Next I should go looking for pstohtml I guess, preserve some
formatting and read in web browser (where text-to-speech works better
anyhow).
