Getting rid of ghostscript message

[Peter Thomassen <info@peter-thomassen.de>]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a dvi2ps-generated file to TIFF, using

$ gs -q -dNOPROMPT -dBATCH -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -sOutputFile=file.tif file.ps

For this to work, I have to press return for each page. I googled around a
bit and found out that the PostScript showpage command seems to be missing.
(Omitting -dNOPROMPT, I get ">>showpage, press <return> to continue<<".)
How do I resolve this automatically?

BTW: The aim is to output a TeX file as TIFF. Is there a better way to
achieve this?

Thanks!
Peter
