[comp.sys.apollo] GPR->XWD Bitmap conversion

FERGUSON@TMASL.EXXON.COM (08/08/89)

I haven't received my X11R3 from Apollo yet, but I thought I'd ask
this anyway.

Is there a conversion program in or out of X-Apollo for changing
GPR bitmaps into XWD (X-Window Dump) format? Obviously, you could
grab the picture off the screen, but a way to do it without using
the display would be nice for printing to remote printers that
don't know what a GPR bitmap is.

Thanks,

I have written programs to convert between GPR bitmaps and pbm type
bitmaps.  You can then use the pbm tools to convert it to xwd.  Mail me if
you want them.
