Hello out there in computer land,
Maybe someone can help me out. Currently, we are using AT&T
Dot-Matrix Display(DMD) 5620 terminals and software running on an
AT&T 3B20 computer. The 5620 software set has a primitive
drawing program called 'cip'. This is a primitive drawing
package that allows you to save your drawing in a file. The
software is like PC PaintBrush, but as not as sophisticated. The
software saves the file in a 'pic' format. You run the file
through 'pic' to get a hard copy. However, AT&T did not
incorporate this command in the current version of software. We
have a large number of files in the 'pic' format and no way of
accessing them. Also, we are replacing this 3B20 computer with a
different Unix box.
Does anyone out there in computer land know of a different
graphical software package that can manipulate 'pic' format
files? Another solution could be that the package reads in the
'pic' file and saves it in a different format. The solution must
be a Unix(System V), use any type of terminals and software.
Anything on a Sun workstation? I will entertain any solution.
Thank you for your support.
Sorry, no smiley faces today.
