Hmmm...may be the other way round: I found CPM 2.2 manuals in
Postscript format also and want to convert them to ASCII. 
Since there are a lot of tables in the manual, I want the conversion
to respect white space even at the beginning of a line.

I tried pstotext, but either it cannot handle this case or I did
something wrong: Only the linebreaks were respected (and the text
itsself of course ;).

What else can perform a "perfect" conversion from postscript to ascii
else?

Thank you very much in advance for any ....hrrrrmmm.... conversion ;)
