All I have to say in regards to this is that EPS deckplans are *awesome*, and
GIF deckplans are "okay".  As far as viewing them on the screen, and cross
platform compatability, VGS-res GIF images are probably the best.  Heck, every
luser seems to have half a dozen GIF viewers available.  I know that I have my
share (but of them I seem to use WinGif1.4 the most).

As far as I am concerned, Postscript is *just* as cross-platform.  There are
versions of Ghostscript for almost every platform, and thats more than enough
to view the stuff.  On top of that, it is far more printer-compliant than GIF
will ever be.  Maybe I'm just prejudiced because I have a PS-lvl2 laser printer
connected to my OS/2 machine.  Actually, all it takes is something like
Pagemaker to turn the nice deckplans for the Felicity into 25mm grid maps.  :)

Does anyone know of a util to convert GIF into EPS?
