look no further (Mac OS 9 application).
Other Conversion and Generation Utilities
sent in by people are available here too.
DOS/Windows Version
Marijke van Gans made a DOS version
of Rotater some time ago. Details could be found at:
http://www.silicon-alley.com/cat/rotate.html
but it appears to have disappeared. This is what the site looked like.
There seems to be a copy at: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ddgarcia/research/graphics/Rotater/
Here is a local copy of the rotate.zip file from there.
