A tool which can do this is one of the stated prerequisites for Hylafax
anyway.  Most people use ghostscript, although pre-compiled Unix builds
normally don't have the bitmap output drivers built in.

Ghostscript's source file is huge:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      2296481 Oct 11  1998 /usr/src/ghostscript-5.50.tar.bz2

and in any case, if I email it to you it will be unsupported, as the author
will only support versions obtained from the official distribution sites.

You forgot to say what your operating system was, but ghostscript runs on 
most platforms, including MS-DOS, although I'm not sure if recent versions
will run without a DOS extender.

Start with: 

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsfaq.html

Or go to:

ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/gsNNN/ghostscript*NNNN*

with NNN as the version, for the sources themselves.

NB if you want to charge for it, you will need the slightly earlier Gnu
versions.  If you want to supply it, or a derived work, commercially
without source or with any restriction on redistribution, you will need
to negotiate a commercial licence directly with the copyright owner.
