- Sorry, alchemy can convert only to PS, not from PS, because it would need a
- full-featured ps-interpreter to do that.
- But use GhostScript, the GNU Postscript Interpreter. It has an output-mode
- 'gif8' which makes gif-files from PS-Input. It is at least available
- for Unix, OS/2 and DOS (in the usual places).
