Does anyone have a faster version of the xsd ( screen dump) program
found in /mit/doc/tutorials/visuals in the R4 distrubution. As stated in
the documentation, that version is very ineficient because it makes
some very pessimistic assumptions about the server.

Also, a frame buffer dump is not good enough because I need to retain
the rgb values for possibly more than 256 colors.

Thanks!!
