[comp.misc] Can this be done ??

chrisb@hubcap.clemson.edu (Chris B.) (02/02/90)

We have a new Versatec 36" color electrostatic plotter at our Computer
Center connected to our IBM/370 mainframe, and our VAX/VMS system. 
Would it be possible to print either GIF, TIFF, or IMG format images on
this printer ???  I have been reading this group for some time, and have
NEVER EVER EVER heard anybody ask this before.    
 ANY info. appreciated...  Leads on shareware, PD, or personal
collection software much appreciated. Please help. 


Thank You.

Just as a lead to shareware, keep your eye out for a program called 
GIFDOT.ZIP.  It is supposed to allow you to print gifs on a dot matrix printer.
I only have CGA so dont mess with GIFS much so I cant tell you how good/bad
the program is. Sorry.  It should be available on some of your local 
bulletin boards.
