I'm trying to create a tool that recognises rectangles and text in
PostScript diagrams and makes HTML image maps. Does anyone know of a
PostScript parser that creates AST's or a grammar that I can use to
make one?

Thanks.

[Sounds impossible to do perfectly, but I suspect some heuristic pattern
matching could catch a lot of common cases. Postscript has practially no
syntax, parsing it is just turning RPN into a tree. -John]
