I need to create a bitmap output file from GhostScript. I found that there
is a nice little file that instructs the interpretter to do just this, but
I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. I have a couple of different
versions of the pstoppm.ps file, they look like they are progressive
enhancements to previous versions.
What I need to find out is:
1) What is the latest/best version to use for creating bitmap files with
1 bit per pixel?
2) How do I get ppm1run to produce bitmaps? If I run it from the GhostScript
command line, it informs me of the syntax I need to use to properly
run ppm1run, but I can't seem to get ppm1run to work properly. I want
to be able to feed options to GhostScript on the command line, creating
output bitmap files from PostScript input. How do I do this?
If you know the answers to these questions, please feel free to e-mail me
directly or post a reply to this message. I read all newsgroups that this
is being posted to.
Thanks.
