I was curious too, so to see what it would look like, I grabbed a copy of gif2ps from the comp.sources.misc archives, compiled it on our NeXT and fed it some gif pictures. Yap imaged them beautifully in about 2 seconds (320-by- 200 pixel, 256 color pictures), but Preview complained that the PostScript file was incorrectly formed. Telling it to read the file anyway produced the same results as Yap. The results looked good; DPS is good at dithering and halftoning. Except for being in black and white, the results were at least as good as, say, Giffer on a Mac II in 256 color mode. ...laura >From: bates@wingra.stat.wisc.edu (Douglas Bates)
