Following the dotted line below is a version of Ed Patterman's
MACIMP program modified for Printronix output.  Internally, it
generates a bitmap (a packed array of booleans), so it is easy
to add output routines for any bitmap device.  I did not do 
any conversions for aspect ratio, so the output is slightly
misproportioned.

The code, as written, is restricted to Decsystem-20's, though
it shouldn't be too difficult to convert it to run on other 
machines.
