Yo gang - 
A while ago, some kind person posted a program called 'prpost' that
was intended to read a datafile produced by mtv's raytracer and
spit out a postscript program to print it. Well, I got it then and
it didn't work right, and I forgot about it.

It compiles fine, and it runs, but the PS code don't do nuthin. The
header is simple enough, but I don't know enough about doing bitmaps
in PS to know what's wrong.

It was compiled with gcc on a uVax II under Ultrix 1.2, and this is what 
results from a 4x4 (wow!) picture (balls.nff):

%!

54 144 translate

{
currentfile DataString readhexstring pop
} bind image

Any ideas anybody?
