	I've used Ultrascript to do *.PCX output which combined with
bit2gray and VPIC, comprises the world's most cumbersome screen previewer
for PostScript to VGA GIF. I've also used Ultrascript to produce
PostScript to TIFF, which I then converted with BITFAX, and sent out
on a SendFAX modem.  It arrived in quite nice condition.
	
	Please note that USPC absolutely requires extended memory to
work (actually it can be tweaked to work in 580K, but no less). It
occasionally gives QEMM a conniption fit, and that such a program might
not work under DOS-Merge.
