There are several that can do the trick. Hijaak for Windows, DeltaPoint makes an inexpensive batch convertor for the Windows environment. A very intriguing DOS product that has about the same level of capability as the Macintosh and UNIX product called "De-Babelizer," that costs about 1/4th as much as De-Babelizer, is called Image Alchemy by a company called Handmade Software. Image Alchemy can batch-convert, scale, rotate, perform color reduction, and a lot of other processes from one command line. It's quite fast. I've converted several thousand files in a single session with it -- it reliable . It has built-in
help. It supports a huge number of file formats -- many obscure ones. List price is US$99.00. Available form:
