Hi!
We have obtained a Tektronix Smalltalk machine. (Currently 4404
but it will be upgraded to 4405). We are trying to use it under a Unix
+ Ethernet environment. Now, my questions are
(1) Is there any public domain software for printing Smalltalk
bitmap image (Form format) files to, say, a versatec printer
connected to another machine (preferably written in C on
Unix)? This is actually for hardcopying of the display.
(2) I have obtained on Usenet a macro package for troffing Smalltalk
printOut files. But, how can I get such files with macro
commands? Is there anyway to get a printout with macro
commands? Well, I can write a dirty filter to change some
escape sequences to macros, but ...
Sorry for rather primitive question, but our local Tektronix
guys don't know much about running their Smalltalk machines under a Unix
environment. They know about only standalone mode :-), and say "buy a
Tektronix printer!"
