Well, I haven't heard anyone plan to do this so far. This would be
different than the normal conversion because our way of converting, so to
speak, to postscript is to print the file. If someone wanted to add a
command line printing option to abiword, I doubt people here would object.
But you can probably find current command line tools to do this (probably
via rtf).
