Hello, everyone.  I'm de-lurking for the first time here.  =)  I'm looking
for the Unix-based program that converts GIF images to either screen
resolution images or multiple-pass images for output to a 132-column
line printer (where the printer will print several strikes per line,
giving varying shades of darkness).  The program also had the option of
creating several "strips" which could be pasted together, side by side,
to make a single, large image.

If anyone knows where I could find this program, please let me know.

On the question of UNIX-based programs, what about DOS-based systems?
