Hi, I am looking for comments and a sponsor for sam2p, a program to convert bitmap files (GIF,JPG,PNG,...) to Postscript or PDF. What makes sam2p interesting is that the resulting Postscript files are not much larger than the source files. This means they are much smaller than the files produced by gimp, xv, etc. It can even achieve good compression in PS level 1 by including its own decompression filter (or so it claims; anybody has a PS level 1 printer to test it?).
Package name: sam2p Version: 0.44-7 Upstream Author:Szabó Péter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.inf.bme.hu/~pts/sam2p/ License: GPL RFP/ITP bug: #276489 Description: convert raster images to EPS, PDF, and other formats sam2p is a command line utility that converts many raster (bitmap) image formats like GIF, JPG/JPEG, and PNG into PostScript or PDF files. PS or EPS files created by sam2p are usually not much larger than the source file. The package I have build can be found at http://home.mnet-online.de/stf/sam2p/ Thanks in advance. Cheers, Stefan
