On our newly installed Vaxstation 2000's, we would very much like to do screendumps to Postscript printers. Since the output from the 'Print (portion of) screen' option is in sixel format, has anybody written (or heard of) a good sixel-to-Postscript converter, and would be willing to share? Thanks in advance! Mats Arbman, EARN/Bitnet arbman@dknbi51.bitnet Nordita, uucp ...!mcvax!nordita!arbman Copenhagen

I wrote a simple-minded SIXEL to PostScript translator in VAX C last summer. If you're on the Internet, you can get it via anonymous FTP from ix1.cc.utexas.edu (128.83.1.21), in the file pub/sxlps.dar. This is a DCL command procedure that unpacks itself into the necessary C source code. If I get enough requests, I'll post the sources to INFO-VAX (about 50K) If I don't, I can mail them to interested parties. Happy screen dumping, Mic Kaczmarczik don't push me 'cause I'm standing in line.

If you are using DEC's Script printer or Printserver-40, there is a special symbiont which translates things like that for you at a typical DEC price. It might handle non-DEC script printers as well, but you may not like the price.
