Use it to convert your PostScript file to Encapsulate PostScript (EPS) form, which includes all the subroutine definitions needed to print the plot. This is also available in version 2.2 using File\Export with file type selected to be .EPS; I can't remember which version of the Windoze front end first had this feature.
