Help !! I am looking for software which would convert EPS graqphics files to other formats which are commonplace on PC compatible computers like TIFF, WPG, etc. Does anyone know of such software and where I can find it ?

Jon, This is the programmer's forum; you should probably try asking in the Mac Applications Forum (GO MACAP) or the systems software forum (GO MACSYS). Any such conversion program would have to have a Postscript interpreter built into it. I don't think such a utility exists.

I did ask in the Application Forum. I didn't receive any responses.

Jon, >> I did ask in the Application Forum. I didn't receive any responses. Hmmm…I'll bet my guess about no such utility existing was correct, then.

Jon, You may want to look at one of the more expensive versions of Freedom of Press. This porgram can rasterize PostScript files and can probably save the results as a TIFF file (or the equivalent) as an intermediate step to printing.

I've been seeing a lot of ink about DeBabelizer – a conversion tool reviewed recently in MacWeek. I didn't read it, though, so I can't tell you if it will do what you want.
