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. If you find bugs (with hopefully corrections) or other difficulties send mail to xwd2ps-support@crd.ge.com
