I saw a script to do this a while back - the main thing was: gs -q -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=- infile.ps | ppmtogif > outfile.gif There may have been other options on gs - check places where people have gs acting as a filter for lpr and steal the options. The ppmtogif program is in the netpbm package. (which is, due to some unfortunate actions by Unisys, in non-free) If you have more than one page on your ps file this won't quite work - but you can still create a script that ends up with several gifs in /tmp using something like: gs -q -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile='/tmp/page%d.ppm' infile.ps for i in /tmp/page*.ppm; do ppmtogif $i > /tmp/`basename $i .ppm`.gif done Check both the gs and ppmtogif manpages for more info. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
