Assuming that you have access to a UNIX box, get a copy of pbmplus.
Source is available from a couple of FTP sites; expo.lcs.mit.edu
springs to mind.  It's a set of graphics manipulation tools that'll do
what you want.  Once you have installed the system, turning a GIF file
into encapsulated PostScript is as simple as this:

giftoppm foo.gif | ppmtopgm | pnmflip -cw | pgmtops >foo.eps

You can throw all sorts of transformations into the middle of the pipe
(color-to-B&W and a 90-degree rotation are in this pipe).

All that's needed now are the pbmplus utilities to work with Apple II
graphics files...
