I'm looking for a program or source code to convert an Encapsulated Postscript File to FBM, PBM, GIF, MAC, Targa, IFF, or anything else that I can read. Does anyone know of such a beast and where I can get one? Mail replies and I'll summarize if anyone so desires...

According to the ad that I saw, it contains GOSCRIPT as it's postscript interpreter and sells for $149.00 It apparently can convert back and forth between 15 or 20 file formats, including Group III FAX files.

I don't think this is true. I've used HIJAAK (very briefly) and I think that it will convert to PostScript, but not from PostScript. As for GoScript, it's not that great. UltraScript PC is much nicer, and GhostScript is better yet (it's free and very fast). These will print but I'm not sure about producing picture files. +------------------------------------------------+ | Kevin Grover UNLV Computer Science | | grover@cs.unlv.edu Las Vegas, Nevada | +------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+ | Kevin Grover UNLV Computer Science | | grover@cs.unlv.edu Las Vegas, Nevada | +------------------------------------------------+

[...] But Ghostscript has a long way to go yet before it will handle the average postscript file, it blows up on all kinds of things. And the font handling is still pretty bad. -- Richard Foulk richard@pegasus.com
