ImageMagick is a collection of tools. You don't just start it, it's not a gui type program. For your purposes you would use the convert tool. As I already mentioned, type "man convert" to get more info on how to use it. To see all the tools, scroll to the end of its man page or type "man ImageMagick". Hope this helps, Alex.

Thank you. The wierd thing is that YaST tells me that ImageMagick is installed on SusE 9.0. Nevetheless there is no item to startit in SuSE menu and cannot startit from a command line just typing in such a name. Moreover, even the Unix command "which ImageMagick" returns no info. Bottomline it's here but it's hidden ..

I think that the gimp is lying to you. The files it generates as postscript seem to be eps files. For example, look at the first couple of lines of a file created that way: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 %%Creator: GIMP PostScript file plugin V 1.12 by Peter Kirchgessner
Anyway, I have never had a problem inserting these into a paper. However, if you still want another tool, make sure you have ImageMagick installed and use its utility "convert" (see man convert for further details).
Best regards, Alex.

Is there a SuSE tool to convert images from PNG to EPS ??? I tried Gimp but it only converts to PS and I need encapsulated PS to insert figures in a paper. Thank you Mem

It is faster just to use "convert". Maura, if you really want a gui then use "display" which is also part of ImageMagick. Charles -- "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk ?" Microsoft spel chekar vor sail, worgs grate !! (By leitner@inf.fu-berlin.de, Felix von Leitner)
I guess you never stop learning. This is indeed a gui and just like with the gimp you use the right mouse button to open up the menu. I never used that before, and I probably won't ever use it as I am accustomed to just using convert. Thanks though for pointing it out. Best regards, Alex.
