On my b/w Sun 3/75, I type: screendump | rasttopbm | pnmflip -cw | pgmtops -s 0.67 | lpr -Ppost to get a screendump on the Postscript printer. (It looks like a slow dog, but the processes are all pretty lightweight.) It handles color-rasts to postscript too, with commandlines like: [color-screendump] | rasttoppm | ppmtopgm | pgmtops -s n.nn | lpr -Ppost It's pretty neat. I've been using it to convert gif's to postscript. Just another Postscript hacker, -- /== Randal L.
