  Hi Postscript Gurus,

  I have one of the most basic question about postscript image file.
  I need to convert postscript image to some other format (gif).
  I don't know the size of postscript image ( width & height ).
  Also size is not mentioned in postscript file that I can get from
  postscript file by viewing the file.

  What I need is some kind of commnad, converter or viewing software
  for postscript which can give me the size og postscript image so
  that I can conver to some other format using pbmplus command psidtopgm
  and from pgm to ppm to gif.

  So How can I find SIZE ( width and height ) of  postscript image without
  actually looking  the postscript file, because not all the postscript
  files mention width and height in the code.

  Thanks

  Samir (spatel@cs.tamu.edu)
