script to convert dig_ascii to Maker Interchange Format.ftp://moon.cecer.army.mil/grass/incoming/v.to.mif
If someone writes something for raster data, we could probably
piece together a MIF driver for p.map pretty easily.
FWIW, the following work nicely:
r.out.ppm i=landuse o=- | ppmtopict > /tmp/landuse.pict
/usr/frame/bin/picttomif /tmp/landuse.pict landuse.mif
Although this is probably a pretty fair approach for smaller, low resolution
maps, I have a feeling that FrameMaker might not be happy if it had to deal
with very large raster images. I've toyed with the idea of writing a crude
probably true. I just tried a ~2000 x ~2000 image and Frame would not
show me colors (just a gray box).

With a little help, ps.map can be a good program.
I didn't mean to dis ps.map (hope it wasn't read that way).
However, for labelling road maps, a pointy-clicky approach
is a lot easier.
