I have a colleague with a number of graphics files from work he did several years ago which are in postscript (NOT EPS). I need to convert them for use on the Web into Gif files. Does anyone know freeware or similar which I could use for this process - either directly or via some other common format such as PICT or TIF.

Hi Gerry, I've copied in the list since this one crops up every few months, or so. You don't say what platform, but if it's a flavour of UNIX then may I suggest GhostScript? On our Linux systems this is invoked with gs. gs -h gives cursory help Trying to read a Postscript file with xv automatically invokes gs on our systems; you may find the same. xv spawns the command string gs -sDEVICE=ppmraw -r72 -q -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=/tmp/xvpg You should be able to set something like this up as a set of batch commands in a little script. Email me privately if you need to know more. Hope this helps.
