[poor, poor, line-eater, all alone and not a CRLF to eat]

For some reason (ahh, the glory of a "we done doed it") we are going to attempt
to transfer some Macintosh pictures to a PC-XT. We thought that we might
try to quickly transfer via serial ports (mac to xt) using kermit (only
because its available here and works) then we wanted to try and process/print
the picture on an Epson or HP LaserJet.

Now it seems as if someone must've tried this before -- any hints??

Oh yeah, we're probably going to use RedRyder (an older version not 9.xx
but it still works ok) for the mac side and Kermit 1.1C for the pc.

I realize it might be better to move it to a vax, convert, upload to the pc
but that's not the intent. 

Might it be easier if I forced the mac-picture (MacPaint or MacDraw) into
a Postscript form?? -- I've heard you can do this but haven't tried it yet.

I will summerize the results of our attempt if desired.
Mail or post I'll check both.

thanks in advance.
