I checked. gs does have a DEVICE for jpeg. both for color and
grayscale.
try
gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=xxx.jpg [options] <inputfile.ps>
gs -sDEVICE=jpeggray [as above]
some other options may be needed to start it from a script so that
it does not go to the GS> prompt.
But what happens when i try to convert a multipage ps file to jpg or gif??
Only the first page seems to be there, Although the gs shows that it is
converting all the pages (it gives <<showpage .blah blah...press return>>)
