Convert PCX to PS

The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.
The PostScript (PS) file extension stands for "PostScript", a dynamic page description language developed by Adobe in the early 1980s. Primarily used for desktop publishing, vector graphics, and printing tasks, PS files are particularly beneficial in ensuring high-quality output across various devices. As a precursor to PDFs, they encode textual and graphical content with great precision, facilitating consistent rendering on any platform. Renowned for their robust and flexible nature, PostScript files have played a pivotal role in digital typography and printing, underpinning many modern typesetting applications and output systems.
