Hello,
I am about to write a program that has to run on a MicroVax under VMS 5.3
and DECWINDOWS. The program produces various pictures, which
we'd like to print on any of our printers, either using
PostScript or sixel formats. As we also want to print pictures that
may not be displayed at a given moment, and we also want to print
non-interactively, we cannot use the session manager "Print portion
of screen" feature.

Does anyone have, or know of, a routine that converts X11 bitmaps or pixmaps
to (colour) sixel or postscript data and writes it to a file for printing?

Or is there a printer filter for VMS that converts X bitmaps to graphic ?

	Thanks in advance,
		Michael
