I use PBMPLUS to make the postscript:

    PBMPLUS, by Jef Poskanzer.  Comprehensive format conversion and image
    manipulation package.  The latest version is always available via
    anonymous FTP as expo.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/pbmplus.tar.Z and
    ftp.ee.lbl.gov:pbmplus.tar.Z.  The version of 22nov89 (which currently
    is still the latest version, except for the one official patch so far)
    was posted to comp.sources.misc, and is therefore accessible via mail
    to one of the archive servers.  This version is also available in the
    X.V11R4 release tape.  A mailing list is available for users and
    developers - write to pbm-request@helios.ee.lbl.gov.

I wrote some programs to convert between Apollo bitmaps and PBMPLUS.
Send me mail if you want them.
