Hi,
I am not able to dump a window on a sun color monitor to
a correct postscript file in X on the sun.The following is the
sequence of things I am doing.  When I print out the 
.ps file I get a rectangular region which is completely black.

xwd -xy -out dumpfile

That generates a file called "dumpfile".

Then :

xpr -output dump.ps -device ps dumpfile

generates the file "dump.ps".  It is this file
that when printed out results in a complete black
patch where th figure should have been.  Thisproblem
is only on a color monitor, on a black and white
monitor there is no problem and the picture is fine.

I will appreciate any possible help.
