on my web page http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/software.html you should
find a small utility called "g3.c" which converts from g3 to gif
(scaled with antialiasing), postscript and perhaps even HP LJ4.

It is fast because it works on 1/2 lines at a time.

The biggest problem with pbmtools is that they want the whole image in
memory before doing anything on it, even though the transformation they
do uses a few lines (or even pixels) at a time.
And about the ppm format, i find it annoying that i cannot specify a "0"
height meaning that the actual height of the image will be known when
you reach the EOF.
