Is this good news or bad news? More likely good, I guess...

I guess this is an "E-mail" from someone "interested"...

I've written (rather, adapted) a Java class for use with batik
1.5. You can download it at

  http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~piater/code/SVG2PS.java

Disclaimer: This is code I wrote for my own needs. It works for me,
but it might make your computer explode. Don't blame me. But you can
e-mail me with questions.

I also wanted to add that my home-brew solution for the other
direction (EPS -> SVG) relies on pstoedit to produce Java, and then
batik to produce SVG. I've experimented with several different
multi-step conversions, and this one seemed to yield the best-quality
SVG (though still far from perfect).

Hope this helps,
Justus
