I have a copy of LPTX, and it is a handy utility for capturing text.
However, the version I have is not useful for graphics.  The file produced
by it is always a multiple of 512 bytes long, and after the actual data
there is random garbage.  There is an end-of-file marker, but it is useless
in a graphics file.  My copy is version 2.00, dated 1985!

If there is a newer copy of LPTX that works better, or if there is some
other program that works better, I would like a copy, too.
