Subject: Updated version of xwd2ps on expo
A new version of xwd2ps (xwd to Color Postscript utility) has been placed 
on expo. The current version fixes the following bugs that
were discovered since the Aug. 14th release.

1. When using a pipe from xwd to xwd2ps the printed PostScript file would
   sometimes have "rips". 
2) An EOF not correctly being interpreted in xwd2ps.c when running on
   a Silicon Graphic's Iris workstation.
3) Having the -l (logo option) print correctly when my_logo.h was used for the
   logo.
4) Some corrections for printing Big Endian xwd dumps on Little Endian
   systems (This may still not work correctly).
5) Supplying an Imakefile rather than a Makefile.
6) Initialized 2 variables since some c-compilers gave serious warning
   messages. (This also may have fixed a bug in the -f option.)
7) Date appears to work. Removed the statement that it doesn't from the
   manual page.

An earlier version submitted Aug. 14th had the following fixes
1) A bug passing strings to strcpy.
2) An improvement to the way memory is used in the downloaded PostScript
   program.
