postscript file conversion problem

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

All, We have a script that successfully produces a ps file. We would
like a gif for a webpage. Convert works to produce a gif. However, that
gif has too much white space so after much tweaking, we came up with

convert -trim +repage -border 20x20 -bordercolor white file.ps file.gif

to produce a smaller image with only a 20pix border.

Our problem is that the the image appears correctly using xv and in MAC
Safari. In Firefox and in photoshop, the actual plot is mostly chopped
off the image and is at the bottom of white space. It seems that various
imaging programs interpret the gif differently, perhaps confusing page
location and image location.

We run convert 5.5 on Sunos.

Does anyone know how to successfully convert the image to gif and remove
the white space? Is there a way to produce gif's directly or to produce
a ps that is small in the first place?

Thanks for any ideas. I'm happy to try everything out.
