     NAME
          postgif - PostScript translator for GIF files

     SYNOPSIS
          postgif [ options ] [ files ]

     DESCRIPTION
          postgif translates Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) files
          into PostScript and writes the results on the standard
          output.  If no files are specified, or if - is one of the
          input files, the standard input is read.  The following
          options are understood:

          -cnum     Print num copies of each page.  By default only
                    one copy is printed.

          -f        Flip the sense of the bits in files before
                    printing the pixmaps.

          -g        Generate picture in gray instead of color

          -mnum     Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages
                    are scaled uniformly about the origin, which by
                    default is located at the center of each page.
                    The default magnification is 1.0.

          -nnum     Print num logical pages on each piece of paper,
                    where num can be any positive integer.  By default
                    num is set to 1.

          -olist    Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-
                    separated list.  The list contains single numbers
                    N and ranges N1-N2.  A missing N1 means the lowest
                    numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest.

          -pmode    Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.
                    Only the first character of mode is significant.
                    The default mode is portrait.

          -xnum     Translate the origin num inches along the positive
                    x axis.  The default coordinate system has the
                    origin fixed at the center of the page, with
                    positive x to the right and positive y up the
                    page.  Positive num moves everything right.  The
                    default offset is 0 inches.

          -ynum     Translate the origin num inches along the positive
                    y axis.  Positive num moves everything up the
                    page.  The default offset is 0.

          -Lfile    Use file as the PostScript prologue, which by
                    default is /usr/lib/postscript/postgif.ps.

In another posting, Chris Lewis says "it would be nice" if
AT&T put all this in public domain. Nice for him, I guess.
Somehow, AT&T doesn't see it that way.
