   If you have access to the pbmplus utilities that went out over the net
   awhile back there exists an iff->ppm (iff ilbmn to portable pixmap)
   and a ppm->CEPS (Color Encapsulated Postscript)
   If you string them together I think you will get what you need.
   These compiled utilites are part of the X11 package from GfxBase.

You can pick up all or part of the PBM Plus package by anonymous FTP
from pc.usl.edu (that's 130.70.40.3 for the nameserver impaired) in
the directories /pub/amiga/pbmplus/{bin,doc,src}.  Please restrict
connections to evening hours (CDT) and weekends.  To convert ILBM to
color PostScript, you'll need at a minimum the "ilbmtoppm" and
"ppmtops" programs.

Any questions about this port of the package can be addressed to me.
