I'd be grateful for any other suggestions. You could try using ghostscript to convert to ppm, then use ppmtogif (from netpbm), possibly using ppmquant to drop the colors below 256. I suppose png isn't an option (yet). Actually, since you have 'xv', and that reads p[bgp]m, you really don't need netpbm. -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) Our one strength was that our senior officers were more flexible than theirs...
