eps2tiff 
is a simple command-line utility that takes .eps, .ps or .tiff files as input and writes out a .tiff file at the stated depth and size, and with the stated compression (none, LZW, or  jpeg).  See the included man page for details. 

This tar file (eps2tiff.NI.tar) includes 

eps2tiff.m         (the code, developed and tested under NS 3.0)
eps2tiff.1         (the man page)
eps2tiffNI         (compiled fat (NI) and stripped)
eps2tiff.NI.README (this file)

I have not tested the eps2tiffNI on Intel hardware. 

The original code came from Tom Swanner III (bizarre@clients-r-us.tamu.edu), who sent it to me in response to a query for a routine to convert .eps files to .tiff 's (I wanted to make some slides from the .tiff files) 

I  fixed the headers to work under NS3.x, and added the following features: 

-option z now causes the output file to be written in LZW compressed format

-option j n.n causes the output file to be written in jpeg compressed format with compression factor n.n 

-calling the function with no arguments give the usage info. (as opposed to a bus error!)
