How about converting the postscript to PDF and using PDF parsing libs
from pascal?

Wow! (even though I feel it is a little too optimistic ;) )

Hmm... vague your mail is. What kinda interpretation? If all you want
is to slurp the text then it might be possible but then Postscript is
a full blown programming language and people (mostly) come up with
their own operators for showing text...

As someone else has mentioned, Ghostscript is an option. I remember
reading about the api for accessing the interpreter although long
back.
