Want to read PostScript files into the Concordia graphic editor

Is there any way to read a PostScript file into Concordia's graphic
editor (i.e., for further editing)? I'm trying to prevent the
imposition of FrameMaker (which apparently only runs on SunView, not
even over the X Window System) on our project. I think I may have a
chance by proposing standard protocols (TeX and PostScript) instead of
"standard" tools (as if FrameMaker were an accepted standard!); but I
may need to offer interediting capability of both text and graphics,
hence my question.

Standard disclaimer.
Symbolics Concordia provides a command called Read Image File that will
extract images from a Postscript file as many other file formats (TIFF,
PICT, etc...). The image can be edited in the Image Editor and put into
a Graphic Editor picture.
You can also use the m-X Create Picture command in Concordia and tell it
that the picture type is Postscript and then give the filename of the
Postscript file.
