Thanks to those who responded to my request for a conversion program from a Sun color screendump to a gray-scaled PostScript file. Here are the results from that posting: 1) rastps - This program takes a sun rasterfile(5) and produces postscript output that can be sent to any postscript printer. From: falk@Sun.COM (Ed Falk) My test results of this were good. SunView (8bit_only) and NeWS screendumps (entire color screen contents) printed nicely on our LaserWriter II. Did not test converted .ps files on color PS printer. Worked best using -e option. 2) psraster - Converts a Sun rasterfile directly to a Postscript format file. From: archive-server@rice.edu (Leonid Rosenboim, modified by Bertrand Decouty.) This worked fine with screen segments, but LaserWriter died on full screendumps. Nice documentation and options. 3) FBM package's fbps. (Michael Mauldin) See Sun-Spots v7n179 for details. I don't have FBM yet, but it's been well recommended.
