[comp.text.desktop] EROFF graphics

arunc@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu (Arun Chandra) (10/12/87)

I am working with EROFF (a typesetting program that is similar to
TROFF) and need to include graphics with the manual I am producing.

The EROFF manual claims to allow the use of McPaint Bit-mapped graphics,
after having been transferred over a phone line to the UNIX machine
running the EROFF program.

Does anyone know of any McPaint-type programs that can work in 
a UNIX or a DOS environment (preferably UNIX), and on an AT&T 6300+?

Thanks in advance,

Assuming that you're producing output destined for a PostScript device
(e.g., LaserWriter), then you should be able to use MS Windows and/or GEM
drawing programs that produce PostScript and then pass the PostScript through
EROFF to the printer.  I'm not an EROFF user; actually, our company has a
competing product that can do the above, and I'm simply assuming that EROFF
can also do it.
