Actually, all of the filter packages that I've looked into uses file magic
to determine the file type, which I guess would be bad if you really wanted
to dump the ASCII in a postscript file to the printer.

My major concern is how to distinct a color file with a black and white
file.  Do they look the same to ghostscript?

Just curious here, but does the stcolor.ps device work for you in ghostscript.
