Re: Anyone have the Major Havoc manual to scan ?

Hello, everyone.

Just a bit of scanning/image conversion info that I find useful, maybe you
will too.

For those of you who don't have Adobe Acrobat, or for that matter, any
image manipulation software at all, you may want to consider using
ImageMagick.

It's pretty much command line driven, but hey, that's what batch mode
processing is all about :)

You can check it out at
http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html.

To do PDF/Postscript conversions, you'll need Ghostscript. You can get it
at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.

A small note here. The Ghostscript main interpreter, gswin32c.exe, must
be in your path for ImageMagick to work right from the command line when
manipulating/converting Postscript/PDF files. On my machine, it's at
c:\aladdin\gs6.01\bin\.

I use it relatively regularly, and find it to be a pretty valuable tool
when goofing with images.

My two cents, your mileage may vary!
