+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
+
+<p><b>psidtopgm</b> reads the &quot;image&quot; data from a PostScript
+file as input and produces a PGM image as output.
+
+<P>This program is obsoleted by <B>pstopnm</B>.
+
+What follows was written before <B>pstopnm </B> existed.
+
+<P>This is a very simple and limited program, and is here only because
+so many people have asked for it.  To use it you have to
+<em>manually</em> extract the readhexstring data portion from your
+PostScript file, and then give the width, height, and bits/sample on
+the command line.  Before you attempt this, you should <em>at
+least</em> read the description of the &quot;image&quot; operator in
+the PostScript Language Reference Manual.
+
+<P>It would probably not be too hard to write a script that uses this
+filter to read a specific variety of PostScript image, but the
+variation is too great to make a general-purpose reader.  Unless, of
+course, you want to write a full-fledged PostScript interpreter...
