I tried this, so that I could then gimp out the fax details from the top of
each page before rebuilding the tiff file using tiffcp.

However, gimp has a problem with the output - it can read the images, and it
allows me to edit them, but when it tries to save the image (Ctrl-S) it comes
up with a shedload of errors.  Does anyone know if this is a problem with the
original images or with gimp?

I tried this, but the .ps file it created was very slow in loading, and when I
ps2pdf'd it the resulting file was illegible.
