Is it possible (with mods) or has it already been done do use xwd to dump a color window into xy mode (as best as possible). This should be do-able - use the background as white (0's) and all other colors (1's) are the set bits. Has someone already added this to xwd or does someone have a conversion pgm. The reason I need this is to print window dumps to B/W postscript printers via xpr (which only likes xy). It may be nicer to mod xpr to take the z format and output color postscript (I would like this more but this is alittle beyond me for now).

xpr has been improved to do color-to-monochrome conversion for general
(including Z format) images. It will also do a simple color to gray scale
conversion. This code will be in R4, but we don't expect to release it
before then. (Of course, AT&T is a member of the X Consortium, and as
such there are groups within AT&T that should have this code already.)
