Summary description: convert raster (bitmap) images to PostScript, PDF and other formats
License type: gpl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sam2p is a UNIX command line utility written in ANSI C++
that converts many raster (bitmap) image formats into Adobe
PostScript or PDF files and several other formats. The
images are not vectorized. sam2p gives full control to the
user to specify standards-compliance, compression, and bit
depths. In some cases sam2p can compress an image 100 times
smaller than the PostScript output of many other common
image converters. sam2p provides ZIP, RLE and LZW
(de)compression filters even on Level1 PostScript devices.
