CTAN has a new package: a2ping

A new one has been installed to tug.ctan.org. It should appear at your favorite mirror very soon, if indeed it is not already there. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: a2ping Author's name: Szab� P�ter Location on CTAN: graphics/a2ping Summary description: advanced PS, PDF, EPS converter License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/a2ping although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
