[comp.lang.postscript] sixel to postscript?

There's a DEC product under VMS that does this -- I think it's called
PSPrint, but the name may have changed.

Correction:

PSPrint is a PostScript-to-Sixel translator, not a Sixel-to-Postscript.
This product is part of the DECPrint Utility software.

P.S.	(no pun intended) it also does Color PostScript on the LJ250/LJ252
        inkjet and LA324 24-wire dot matrix printers.

Over a year ago I grabed a package from an ftp site that would let
one grab sixel images from a vaxstation screen and print them to
a postscript printer.
