What is the standard file type used in Deluxe-paint and Paintbrush. Are there MD-DOS converters say to GIF so I can then convert them to Postscript ? To I have to pre-process the color image (if drawn in color) before converting GIF to postscript (my laser printer is B&W only) btw..I have a gif to postscript *.exe for VMS if someone needs it. thanks, Bob Egan b_egan@levers.enet.dec.com --or-- ...!decwrl!levers.enet.dec.com!b_egan --or-- b_egan%levers.dec@decwrl.dec.com

Paintbrush use the PCX format (*.PCX). Don't know about Deluxe Paint.

PCX to GIF can be done by a PD program called CVTGIF.

Depends on how you are converting to postscript. I think there is a
GIF to postscript converter (that should convert the color to grays)
called POSTGIF. You can also display it and do a screen grab directly
to postscript(EPS) in grayscale using Screen-to-Postscript.

Does it do color postscript ? I'm now looking for a gif to color postscript
converter for the PC (executable or source).
