Quick OSX Conversion of PostScript to PDF

If you are on a Mac and need to convert Postscript (or other) to PDF, and you are ancient enough to use commandlines, try the attached; I had no idea about convert but found it referenced in /Library/Scripts//Printing Scripts/Convert To PostScript.scpt


for i in *.ps
do
/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f $i -o $i.pdf
done

    Hi,

    I just tried this and got the message:

    convert: Unable to determine MIME type of “CIRCLE2:1_256p.ps”

    Do you know whether I can do anything about this?
    The file was created with gnuplot.

    thanks, –thelma
