Well, I think it's still easy even if it's written in C, 'cause it's just a matter of "grep"-ing the source and finding where it calls giftoppm.... ;) * Yes, it works perfectly... the way it works is it converts the file * to pnm/ppm then ppmtops/pnmtops will change it to ps and ghostscript takes * care of the rest. Oh, then OF COURSE it should work, it makes no difference whatsoever to pnmtops whether the input is ppm or pgm or pbm! So I guess we now know what the apsfilter's authors were thinking! :) * > BTW, congrats for the national championship. :) * > * * Thanks! :-) Don't forget, South Branch didn't win the first championship until 5 years later than Cal.... :p Satoshi
