That's not true :-( sorry! it's convert that respects BoundingBox
  convert t.eps t.jpg
I've been using gs through a preprocessor script which extracted
the BoundingBox numbers and then invoked
  gs -q -sDEVICE=jpeg -g75x37.5 -sOutputFile=t.jpg
accordingly.  (It's all invoked from Makefiles of course.)
But I should have been using PageSize within t.ps anyway.

Fair enough; I might restandardise on png.

I don't really know, I've never used it :-)

Bigger files, though...
