I am looking for public domain software which converts metafiles from one
primitive laser printer language to another.  In particular, I wish to
convert in any direction among QUIC, IMPRESS, and SIXEL.  I would also
find useful any package which will convert PostScript to any of these
languages.  My problem is that I am running on several networks and do
not have control over any of the hardware configurations.  Thus I must
find software solutions to basic incompatibilities among the networks
vis-a-vis directing output to their various laser printers.

I would appreciate source code if available.

Please send replies directly to me (OLSEN@JPL-VLSI.ARPA) and I will summerize
for the net.
