In case anyone wants it, I have a hardcopy program (thanks to Chris
Lindblad - the resident wizard, who helped debugging it) that can
generate a postscript dump of a given X window. It scales the window
optionally to fit on the entire page. Normally it spools the output
file via lpr, but can be told to direct its output to a file if need be.  

You can link this routine in with programs to give them a screendump
capability. (one candidate for such a capability would be 'uwm' and a
'f.screendump' function).

Right now, I've tested it on Suns running 3.2, and it seems to work
quite well.
