I will let someone else answer about official patches to Andrew. I have implemented extensions to convertraster to read and write X window dump format (xy format only, right now) and X bitmap format. I have also implemented a lot of other useful stuff, that would be of general interest to the community. Someone should set up a clearinghouse mechanism so that we can all take advantage of each other's extensions. I have tried giving things back to ITC, but they are understandably reluctant to take back anything more significant than very small fixes to bugs.

This probably isn't all that useful to those of you living on Unix boxes, but I've implemented a bunch of Lisp code for the TI Explorer that can read and write Andrew rasters, and can read simple multi-font documents with embedded rasters. There's also a 70%-implemented Andrew BBoard reader. This stuff is anonymously-FTPable from spice.cs.cmu.edu in the file /usr/jwz/public/andrew-datastream.lisp (see also _readme.text). -- Jamie
