While looking for a method to convert large text-ish files to tiff I came
up with this trick.
enscript <file.whatever> -p - | \
gs -sDEVICE=tiffpack -sOutputFile=file%d.tiff
Or something very much like it. :-)
With my copy of ghostscript (RHL 7.2) there is pngmono, pnggray, png16,
png256, png16m, jpeg, jpeggray, and a bunch of others.
Enscript will also do some nifty formating if you want it to depending on
the input source type: C, SQL, etc.
