Emerald City has a product called Lasertalk PC that as far as I know
will return the bitmap back to you.  It is fairly pricy, as is
Arts&Letters.  Arts &Letters will accept EPS files.  It will also accept
TIFF files and allow you to curve trace them.  You really need a
math coprocessor, and some time.  It definitly can be a hassle to get them
Correct, but it can be done.  I would further surmise that
most of the packages that are PS interpreters for the PC, such as
Ghostscript, (see prior posting), or GoScript etc will also allow you
to do this.
