+a2ping is a UNIX command line utility written in Perl that converts many
+ raster image and vector graphics formats to EPS or PDF and other page
+ description formats. Accepted input file formats are: PS (PostScript), EPS,
+ PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PNM, BMP, GIF, LBM, XPM, PCX, TGA. Accepted output
+ formats are: EPS, PCL5, PDF, PDF1, PBM, PGM, PPM, PS, markedEPS, markedPS,
+ PNG, XWD, BMP, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, XPM. a2ping delegates the low-level
+ work to Ghostscript (GS), pdftops and sam2p. a2ping fixes many glitches
+ during the EPS to EPS conversion, so its output is often more compatible
+ and better embeddable than its input.
