The programs you are thinking about are probably the Portable Bitmap
utilities by Jef Poskanzer which can rotate, trim, flip, crop, convert,
etc.. bitmaps.  This is available via anonymous ftp from: 

	    uunet.uu.net (192.48.96.2) or (137.39.1.2) 

in the directory: 

            /usr/spool/ftp/comp.sources.misc/volume2/pbm
            
To use these, convert the IFF to GIF format and then use the utilities
to convert to postscript.

		     --- or ----

Use the shareware program:  

		     iff2ps 
           by William Mason and Sam Paolucci
		     
which will convert iff files directly to postscript.
