I am trying to read in a gif file and write it out to a postscript file.
The reason being is that your color printer only prints postscript.

The program I am using is at the end of the posting. The problems is
when I right it out to the postscript file there is no color in the
file. Can anybody help with this problem

Thank,
Tim Duman

READ_GIF, filename, image, red, green, blue
SET_PLOT,'z'
TVLCT, red, green, blue

strname = STR_SEP(filename,'.')

SET_PLOT,'ps'
DEVICE,FILENAME=strname(0)+'.ps',/COLOR,BITS=8
TVLCT,red,green,blue

END ; End program giftops.pro
