Is it possible? Has anybody done it? Can they point me to software that might do it? -- Karl --

Routinely; I turned a GIF picture into EPSF for a PageMaker document just yesterday. > Can they point me to software that >might do it? Try gif2ps, which you can ftp from surya.waterloo.edu. It reads the picture, converts the colour palette to grey scale and dumps out the results as a PostScript image. It works well on a Sun-3, but I haven't been able to make it work (yet) on the crummy XT clone I usually use. The version you will get from surya doesn't create EPSF, but you don't have to change much to make it do so. ...laura

What I do is to display it using a GIF display program and then capture it to postscript using a postscript screen capturing utility called SCRtoPS. SCRtoPS will convert color to greyscale on EGA/VGA so your black and white prints come out ok. Venu P.

They will produce color PostScript from color GIF. I have printed them on a QMS colorscript 100. --- Tom Beattie att!hoqaa!twb t.w.beattie@att.com
