GhostScript:

$  GS == "$DISK$SOFT:[GHOSTSCRIPT_9_2]GS.EXE"

$  IF P1 .EQS. "" THEN GOTO USAGE
$  IF F$PARSE(P1,,,"TYPE") .EQS. "." THEN P1 = P1 + ".PS"
$  IF P2 .EQS. "" THEN P2 = F$PARSE(P1,,,"NAME") + ".PDF"
$  IF F$PARSE(P2,,,"TYPE") .EQS. "." THEN P2 = P2 + ".PDF"
$  GS "-dNOPAUSE" "-sDEVICE=pdfwrite" "-dBATCH" "-sOutputFile=''P2'" 'P1'
$  EXIT
$USAGE:
$  TYPE SYS$INPUT

P1: PostScript file (required), default type .PS
P2: PDF file (optional), default type .PDF, default name <name_of_P1>.PDF
$  EXIT
