Printouts of Gks
Hi GKS -Xperts!
I am a novice in using GKS . I created a graphics display and gave
the wstype as MO and conid as display = hpgks.meta.Now when I link 
my program It creates the output file hpgks.meta . Things are right till 
here . When I use gpp to convert this file to a postscriptfile , the 
error message is "cannot read input from this CPU ". That was the first 
failure. Since I am working on a HP 300h terminal and my Gks libraries
are on top of Starbase libraries ;I tried to use pcltrans to convert 
 starbase bitmap file into pcl raster file. Even this does not work
I did not call any other gks metafile specific subroutines. Only thing
is workstationtype and conid. 
  IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THIS METAFILE TO PRINT ON a POSTSCRIPT OR
   A LASERJET PRINTER>
Thanks in advance.

Have fun
