    Somesh,

    I use this csh script to change meta files into .gif. I use it for
    producing images for a web page.

    #!/bin/csh -f
    /contrib/bin/ctrans -d sgi gmeta > temp.sgi
    /contrib/bin/sgitopnm temp.sgi > temp.ppm
    /contrib/bin/ppmtogif temp.ppm > temp.gif

    But if I need better quality I use GSview and print postscript to a jpg
    file, selecting the 300 dpi option.

    There are probably better ways, but this works for me.
