ps.map EPS --> ps: possible?

GRASSusers:

Has anyone yet found a workable solution to get the EPS format of ps.map
into any graphics package for editing, either by choosing a specific package
or a converter utility?
We would love to use ps.map in order to define a region and then
have a raster/vector output of geo-referenced graphics: the technique of
r.out.tiff for raster overlaid with MAPGEN plot files (using CorelDraw as the
"mixer" software) is workable, but less than ideal. I checked the
archives; I guess I'm hoping that someone has developed a solution that
I can't find.

Thanks!!

(Specifics: we use a HP650C plotter without the postscript option, use
CorelDraw to annotate, etc., prior to plotting. Have retrieved the DOS
version of Ghostview in order to test its "ps2epsi" feature, it's the
opposite of what we want.))

I've successfully used the commercial package IslandDraw to annotate ps.map
output. I read the ps.map generated eps into IslandDraw, annotate
and print directly from IslandDraw on a HP XL300 using postscript. It all
happens in SunOS though, so if you have to use DOS, this might not be a
solution for you.

I don't know what the package costs. Perhaps someone from Island Graphics
is reading and can provide info for you, or I can dig up if you need.
