When I need to edit the ps output (I allways do it, I put logos and stuff) I use pstoedit to convert to sketch (like pstoedit -f sk bottom.ps bottom.sk) and then open it in sketch (that is renamed to skencil) and open it in it. Sketch (or skencil) is a vector-based graphic editor like Corel Draw, and I do a lot of thins in it, like putting texts and drawing stuffs. The, I save is as a postscript file, and it is! Sometimes I made the board in the toner transfer mode, or I send the ps to a plotting bureau and made photolits to my pcb vendor.
