I have access to this nice MD400 scanner connected to a VAXstation
3100, the only problem is that the DECimage Scan Software (Version 2.0)
only writes files in the .DDIF format which I have been unable to
convert to any usable (to me) format. There is a VMS program
(conver/document) that can convert the files to some other strange,
unusable formats (it can convert the files to postscript but I
have been unable to convert that to GIF PICT or anything like that
which is what I need).

So, does anybody have any tips for me? either how to convert the .DDIF
to something usable or to do something with the postscript files.
(I have been looking at xv but it is far to big for my account)

I have access to DOS, Windowc, Mac, VMS and Unix machines.
