pnmtops(1) pnmtops(1)
NAME
pnmtops - convert portable anymap to PostScript
SYNOPSIS
pnmtops [-scale s] [-turn|-noturn] [-rle|-runlength] [-dpi
n] [-width n] [-height n] [-center|-nocenter] [pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable anymap as input. Produces Encapsulated
PostScript as output.
So all you need to do is convert your bitmaps to ppm, and then use pnmtops
to convert that to eps. A wee script will do this no bother at all.
