A very good graphics conversion utility is HiJaak, from Inset Systems
(71 Commerce Drive, Brookfield, CT 06804 (203) 775-5866).
HiJaak is an MS-DOS program that converts numerous graphic file
formats on input and output, including:
CCITT Group 3 (FAX files)
HP LaserJet (HPC and PCL files)
Paintbrush (PCX and PCC Cut files)
TIFF (Uncompressed (TIF) and Compressed (CTF) files)
WordPerfect (WPG files)
CompuServe Graphic Image Format (GIF files)
Dr. Halo (CUT files)
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS files -- output only)
GEM Paint (IMG files)
Lotus 1-2-3 (PIC files)
Microsoft Windows Paint (MSP files)
Macintosh (MAC files)
Last year, when we bought HiJaak, we paid $99.
Also, GammaLink has a FAX board for PCs and PS/2s called GammaFax.
The GammaFax software is quite flexible and can convert Group 3
FAX files for printing on several printers, including the HP LaserJets
and the Xerox 4045/2700/3700s. The boards range from $400 - $1.2K.
I think the board we bought can also convert and send HP PCL to
FAX machines. There is a companion program to do FAX->PostScript->FAX.
