I picked up the latest version of PBM, PNM, etc. from expo the other day and I just realized that there is no Black/White pbm to postscript converter included (pbmtops). Is this just an oversight. Jeff, if you are listening, do you have BW versions of pgmtops, etc.??? If not, could someone tell me where a good Sun rasterfile to postscript converter is? One with rotate and scale options would even be better.

Is this just }an oversight. As mentioned in the manual entry for pgmtopbm, any PGM program can read PBM files without explicit conversion. Likewise, any PPM program can read PGM and PBM files. I sure hope this isn't an indication that comp.graphics is about to be flooded with silly questions about PBM. Informed discussion, on the other hand, could be interesting. For instance, I'd be interested in any comparisons between PBM and some of the other systems listed in the OTHER.SYSTEMS file. Or any other other systems, such as giffer or visionlab for the Mac, or hijack for MS-DOS. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer pokey@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax, apple, hplabs}!well!pokey "Gee, it sure is easy to pull Tim's strings." -- Lee Lady
