[comp.fonts] pbmplus

PBMPLUS is a wonderful package that does just that sort of thing.
Not more than 15 minutes ago I typed:

giftoppm jiffy.gif | ppmtopgm | pgmtopbm | pbmtorast | screenload

to view it on my b/w Sun, and then with some smoke and mirrors to
rescale and rotate it:

giftoppm jiffy.gif | pnmcrop | ppmscale -xsc 1.67 | pnmflip -cw | ppmtopgm |
  pgmnorm | pgmtops -s 1.25 | lpr

to drop it out onto the laser.  (The picture was scaled funny.)

I don't know exactly where I got it, but it was some anon FTP thing
somewhere.  Jef Poskanzer <jef@well.sf.ca.us> wrote most of it.

Just another bit-hacker,
