I was looking for a software which would change sun raster images
to Postscript format. Some body suggested "sun2ps" program written
by Glenn Boysko, Case Western Reserve University.
The only problem with this software is that it does not transform
the files that are already "run-length byte encoded".
Is there a way to take care of this ?
Are there any other Sun raster to Postscript software ?
Your response will be appreciated.

I am going to test this version and will make it available later , with my own modifications (print at 75 dpi not 72dpi, support of A4 paper, man page) on irisa.irisa.fr, cd Postscript. NOTE: i am not the author of sun2ps, only a user (and a local maintainer). -- | Bertrand DECOUTY | EMAIL : decouty@irisa.fr, decouty@irisa.uucp | | IRISA - INRIA (Atelier) | {uunet,mcsun,inria}!irisa!decouty | | Campus de Beaulieu | PHONE : +33 99 36 20 00 | | F-35042 Rennes Cedex - FRANCE| FAX : +33 99 38 38 32 | TELEX: 950473 UNIRISA|

Yes, pipe run-length encoded files through /usr/lib/rasfilters/convert.2 to generate standard format images (or visa-versa) |Are there any other Sun raster to Postscript software ? Yes, tons. For example the PBM package and the Utah Raster Toolkit have converters for postscript. -ed falk, sun microsystems sun!falk, falk@sun.com In the future, somebody will quote Andy Warhol every 15 minutes.
