    Hi.  If you've been using the X window dump to imagen laser program
    I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, you may have noticed strange
    behavior on the Imagen when it prints the right edge of the window
    dump.  This apparently happens if the dump isn't a multiple of
    32-bits wide.  The Imagen processor likes bitmaps to be in "patches"
    which are 32-bits wide and tends to pad with a strange pattern when
    given bitmaps which are otherwise legitimate.  

    The solution of course is to make your window dumps an integral
    multiple of 32-bits wide.  The way to do that is to resize the
    window prior to dumping it, generating an ExposeWindow event so the
    application can hopefully repaint the slightly larger window nicely
    prior to dumping.  The upshot:  instead of doing just "xipr" and
    clicking on the window to dump, you should type "xsize -mod32",
    click on the window, "xipr" and then click on the window again.
    I've added the source to xsize to the tar image 

	portal/xstuff.tar

    on gremlin.nrtc.northrop.com[128.99.0.17], available via anonymous
    ftp.  I've also added some better man pages to the programs there.

Enjoy,
