[comp.graphics] Converting Sun Raster to Paintjet

ckirsch@lowrider.eng.clemson.edu (Chuck Kirschman) (01/11/91)

I need to convert some sun rasterfiles to be printed on a HP Paintjet
(Hooked to a PC now, but I can move it...).  I'd like to do this with
one translater if possible.  Does anybody already do this??  Is there
any PD stuff available, or comercial packages??

thanks, 
chuck

I picked up such a program off munnari.oz.au (128.250.1.21). The file is
called ras2hppj.tar.Z and lives in pub/graphics. Please not that I have
NOT tried this program: all I know is that it claims to be able to
convert Sun rasterfiles to something that the PaintJet will accept.
Actually, I would really like to know if it works, as I do not
currently have access to a PaintJet...
