Last April I got a copy of tocolps.c from someone out there in INFO-IRIS-land. I have never been able to get the output from this utility to work. The offending command is 'setcolorscreen' which none of our PostScript printers recognize. The color PostScript printer here is a QMS if that makes any difference. So: (1) Is 'setcolorscreen' supposed to be an intrinsic part of color PostScript? or; (2) Is there supposed to be a header file somewhere that has this operator defined? Thanks for any help! -- John D. McCalpin mccalpin@perelandra.cms.udel.edu Assistant Professor mccalpin@brahms.udel.edu College of Marine Studies, U. Del. J.MCCALPIN/OMNET

McCalpin I would consider this odd, since we have a QMS color postscript printer, and tocolps seems to work fine with it... ours is a QMS model 100, if that makes any difference. The printer sits on an AppleTalk network, and currently what we do is download the postscript file to a Macintosh and use one of the several mac utilities to dump that file to the printer. Unlike many Macintosh color postscript generation programs, this has always worked so far (although it's SLOW, because often the files approach 2 meg) with our QMS printer. -- Bob Funchess bobf@blumiris.chem.umr.edu Department of Chemistry University of Missouri - Rolla

I'm looking for a utility to convert iris image library .rgb format
picture files to colour PostScript (for a Tek PHASER PX).
Will tocolps do this? And if so, could someone please mail me a copy or
let me know where I can obtain such an amazingly useful program.
Thanks in advance.
