[comp.sys.amiga] Printing IFF files

armhold@topaz.rutgers.edu (George Armhold) (03/04/89)

Does anyone know of a PD program that will allow me to print IFF files
REALLY LARGE? I mean, to spread the picture over several sheets of
paper which have to be pieced together. This would have to work on a 
dot matrix, preferably an Epson. I scoured over my Fish disk list and 
came up with nothing. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Someone must have written a program that allows you to extract and
expand IFF pictures!  For instance, 

	iff2iff 3x(0,0)..(0.3333,0.3333) foo bar

should give me the upper left corner of `foo' at three times
normal size.  Then the standard print programs would work just
fine.  (There is a standard program for printing an IFF picture
isn't there?)  This shouldn't take more than an hour or two to
write . . .

Weellll...
To save time, (but not money!) Deluxe Photolab has a module in it that lets
you print files up to 10' X 10' in size.

photolab and an HP paintjet.
