Has anyone hacked Crispin Goswell's PostScript (or: GNU GhostScript), to
make it generate PBM files (cf. Jef Poskanzer's PBM package, recently
posted on comp.sources.misc)?

The way I do it is to run NeWS, display the PostScript with psview, do a screen dump, convert that to PBM, and then cut/crop it down to size. If you have any way of displaying PostScript on a screen, you can do something similar. If all you have is a Laserwriter... well, it's possible in theory to upload the rendered bitmap from the Laserwriter... --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@rtsg.ee.lbl.gov ...well!pokey "Furious activity is no substitute for understanding." -- H.
