NAME
postgif - PostScript translator for GIF files
SYNOPSIS
postgif [ options ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
postgif translates Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) files
into PostScript and writes the results on the standard
output. If no files are specified, or if - is one of the
input files, the standard input is read. The following
options are understood:
-cnum Print num copies of each page. By default only
one copy is printed.
-f Flip the sense of the bits in files before
printing the pixmaps.
-g Generate picture in gray instead of color
-mnum Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages
are scaled uniformly about the origin, which by
default is located at the center of each page.
The default magnification is 1.0.
-nnum Print num logical pages on each piece of paper,
where num can be any positive integer. By default
num is set to 1.
-olist Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-
separated list. The list contains single numbers
N and ranges N1-N2. A missing N1 means the lowest
numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest.
-pmode Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.
Only the first character of mode is significant.
The default mode is portrait.
-xnum Translate the origin num inches along the positive
x axis. The default coordinate system has the
origin fixed at the center of the page, with
positive x to the right and positive y up the
page. Positive num moves everything right. The
default offset is 0 inches.
-ynum Translate the origin num inches along the positive
y axis. Positive num moves everything up the
page. The default offset is 0.
-Lfile Use file as the PostScript prologue, which by
default is /usr/lib/postscript/postgif.ps.

In another posting, Chris Lewis says "it would be nice" if
AT&T put all this in public domain. Nice for him, I guess.
Somehow, AT&T doesn't see it that way.
