As far as I know, the only freeware app. that understands PostScript is Aladdin's GhostScript interpreter. Use: gs -sDEVICE=pbm -sOutputFile=yourfile -dNOPAUSE -q Hint: to reduce the size of gs, include only the "pbm" output support... : Any comment would be greatly appreciated. PostScript is complex, so don't expect gs to be a "small" program ;-p Cheers, Philippe. : == : Vincent Chen vcba79@ms1.hinet.net : Taipei,Taiwan : R.O.C. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- P.
