I'd like a simple tool, preferably a DA, that could find just the
dimensions of the PICT in a PICT file (in inches), preferably without
even opening the file.

Just the width and height, nothing more.  (These numbers are needed to
\input the PICT into a TeX document, using the \special command in
Textures.)

Anything like this around?

Responses preferably direct to siegman@sierra.stanford.edu
