-
- To convert PS to GIF, you'll need a Postscript interpreter.
- Ghostscript (GNU's Postscript interpreter) can be configured (*) to
- write the output in PPM (Portable Pixmap) format, which can be
- converted to GIF with the appropriate filter of the PBM+ toolkit.
-
- Ghostscript is available via anonymous FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu (or
- preferrably from a GNU archive site near you), probably under a name
- like ghostscript*; PBM+ should also be available at various places (the
- filename should be pbmplus*).
