Does anyone know of the existence of 'pstomacp' or something similarly named. We have several sister utilities (pbmtomacp etc etc) but not the one I want! (I need to take a graphics image on a Sun running X, and paste it into a Word 4.0 document on a Macintosh.)

I could find no specific utility to do such a thing, so here's what I did. I displayed the ps file using a postscript previewer (ghostscript to be specific) and then did an xwd of that window into a file.. After that I did xwdtopbm | pbmtomacp > file.macp... Then I downloaded it onto the mac using binary ftp. However, one problem still remains.. The file looks like a text file on the mac.. so what you need to do is to use Resedit or some such beastie and modify the type of the file to one that is compatible with mac paint or the file won't even show up when you go to open a file within Mac Paint!! (and obviously you can't open it straight from the desktop.. the old "Application Busy or Missing" problem.. ____ Bitnet: dhh102@psuvm doug@psueclc ( / ) _ _, Inet: dhh102@psuvm.psu.edu doug@ecl.psu.edu \_/__/ <_>_/_/_<_> "Time flies like an arrow." <_> "Fruit flies like a banana."

if you can hack c you can modify the source to mcvert, found on info-mac, and make it save the file type into the macpaint file. you need to know the string corresponding to that file type. i only know 2 - TIFF and PICT. .
