Dear Post_Scripters: I do not know much about the postscript language. This is one of those appeals from a novice to the experienced! My experience mainly involves Tex and dvips. I have several image files that I would like to printout on a postscript printer (LaserWriterPlus). The files come in two formats: 1.) Run_length encoded. 2.) 24 bit - bmf (Apollo bit map file). I have no idea if this is possible. I am hoping that some kind soul will have pity on me and answer a few general questions: i.) Is this possible? ii.) If possible, is it "easy" to do? iii.) If easy, how does one do it? iv.) If hard (or not easy), what are the steps involved in doing it? In particular, what details about the bitmap files must I know (header, format, ...), what postscipt commands or macros do I use and so on. I do have the three set series (RGB - Addison-Wesley). Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks in advance, Peter J.
