Sorry if you have already red this article, but I think that the first one got lost. I am writing a report and I am including some hardcopies of a Lisp Machine screen (Postscript format) in it. To avoid any cutting/pasting, I include the "postscript file" in my document (using the \special command with LaTeX/dvips). Unfortunately, each screen dump is approximately 220 K... Considering that I will have 60 screen dumps... It makes 12 Mega of pictures for this report... (that I have to keep under postscript format for inclusion) I had a quick look to the format used in this screen dump, and it looks like it is not compressed at all. When I run it thru "compress" I get a 91.08% compression rate (after all, these screens are almost white). I was just wondering if anybody have already written, in lisp for the Lisp Machine side, and in postscript for the printer side, a small"compressor".
