Some formats it can take as input, some it can output, and some will work as input or output. I know it will convert PostScript (images only) to Sixel or Impress format. I don't think it will input Sixel format, but if you have an interim filter from Sixel to another of the wide variety of formats it does accept, this may solve your problem. If you would like the source code, I will send it. I believe I have the latest (only?) version (June 20th, 1988). As for Postscript <--> Interleaf, I believe Interleaf provides a filter (/usr/ops/Maint/ps/pl2ps) to convert "printerleaf" files to PostScript, although I don't think you can go the other way.
