Need help with using GhostScript ppm bitmap creator

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.
