I didn't see ps2eps in my installation (I could only find ps2epsi),
although I reinstalled the latest version of tex using i-installer.  A
possible reason is that the version I installed is a reduced one - I
installed using the Tex..dmg file, as I don't have a convenient access to
internet from my pb for the time being.

I downloaded ps2eps from the web and installed it.  It works like a charm.
 Thanks Maarten for the tip.

Talking about tex installation through the dmg route, I feel that the
instruction is a little confusing, especially the warning that it is NOT a
recommended procedure.  When there is no option but to use the dmg file,
why warn them that it is not a recommended procedure.  I feel that this
warning can come a little earlier, or a better explanation can be
provided.
