[comp.sys.masscomp] Dumping screen

rickers@drexel.UUCP (Rick Wargo) (10/05/87)

To all interested:

	We have a utility that dumps a color image on a Masscomp
monitor to a file in postscript form.  The file can then be brought
over to a postscript device (such as the Apple Laserwriter) and
executed to produce a 16 level shades of grey image of the first four
bit planes of color (or 1 bit plane for black & white images).  This
was never intended to be used out of house and it is some of the worst
code I have ever seen in my life - a real hack, but I thought it might
be useful to others with a Masscomp and a Laserwriter.  There is no
documentation, except for the source code (which I had said was
terrible :-) but should not be too difficult to understand how to
compile and use.

	If anyone is interested leave me some e-mail and I will mail
you a copy of the source.
