I use Frame/Maker V2.0 on a SPARC and created a Sun Logo with a screen
preview by writing the PS code to draw the logo, then feeding that to
pageview, the PostScript previewer under OpenWindows, and converted
that raster to PostScript with ras2ps (included in OW2.0) then pasted
the hex output of that into the PostScript source for the logo as an
EPSI preview.

The final product looks like this:
