Yeah, and I've used convert to generate pbm's via popen() in C programs,
and read/parse the output to construct actual bitmap rasters of gif
(and occasionally ps) images I wanted to further manipulate.
And that does work fine, but convert'ing ps isn't what I'm looking for.
   On the other hand, maybe if I can run gv in an html <iframe>, passing
it a filename to view, that might just do the trick.
