I need a program to do a screen-dump from an HP9000c320. The images are being done in gray-scale. The hard-copy devices I have to choose from are an Apple Laserwriter Plus, an HP Laserjet, and a QMS Laserprinter. The software should be free and I need source. Thanks -- P.

HP-UX used to include a program /usr/lib/starbase/demos/dumpgraphics.c. It was provided in source form. It has been replaced by 'pcltrans', which is not available in source form. 'dumpgraphics' could read the bitmap for most Starbase-supported displays, IOR the memory planes, and convert the result to PCL (HP raster standard) format suitable for a LaserJet (but not PostScript). Since you probably would also prefer to have the grey-scale point values dithered, you would need to modify 'dumpgraphics'. If you cannot find it on your system, contact your local SE, or make a request here on the net.
