Aha - thanks, I am getting somewhere I think. I have not played with this
before, so could you check me on this please?

1) perl script generates postscript and pipes this into gs...
2) using -sDEVICE=pbm I can generate a pmb file.

Now, I have looked at the pbm and ppm man pages - and I can't see how to
get from pbm to ppm so that I can go from ppm to gif.

I have a feeling that I am missing something pretty simple here - but I am
totally stuck again!
