Hi!

	We have obtained a Tektronix Smalltalk machine.  (Currently 4404
but it will be upgraded to 4405).  We are trying to use it under a Unix
+ Ethernet environment.  Now, my questions are

    (1) Is there any public domain software for printing Smalltalk
	bitmap image (Form format) files to, say, a versatec printer
	connected to another machine (preferably written in C on
	Unix)?  This is actually for hardcopying of the display.

    (2) I have obtained on Usenet a macro package for troffing Smalltalk
	printOut files.  But, how can I get such files with macro
	commands?  Is there anyway to get a printout with macro
	commands?  Well, I can write a dirty filter to change some
	escape sequences to macros, but ...

	Sorry for rather primitive question, but our local Tektronix
guys don't know much about running their Smalltalk machines under a Unix
environment.  They know about only standalone mode :-), and say "buy a
Tektronix printer!"
