Dear Net, we are looking for a (UNIX) utility that will convert a picture from PostScript to either a) Fax coding OR b) TIFF Format. Is there anything about that is free or cheap ? Please let me know. If there is enough interest I will summarise. Please mail me directly, as I do not always manage to read these groups. Thanks in advance, Love, Snoopy

Go and get GhostScript (from prep.ai.mit.edu). GhostScript can produce ppm files (pixmaps) from your ps code, and these ppm files can be converted to tiff using Jef Poskanzer's PBMPLUS package (from expo.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/) Igor Metz Institut fuer Informatik und angew.
