[Image-SIG] Error when trying to open a .ps file

[Ertl, John]

All,

I am trying to open a .ps file and then eventually convert it to a .png but
I cannot even open it.   If I use a postscript viewer I can view the image
so I think the image is O.K.  I am using Python 2.4 on RH ES 3.0 and PIL
1.1.5.  I have been doing some work with other formats it has been great so
I think PIL is installed correctly but I have just had no luck with .ps
files.

Any ideas?

>>> im = Image.open("test.ps")

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    im = Image.open("test.ps")
  File
"/opt/global/python/python-2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/Image.py",
line 1730, in open
    return factory(fp, filename)
  File
