[alt.graphics.pixutils] Fig.P problems

Hello there,

Here's the problem :

Working on a PC, I am trying to export graphics made with Fig.P (The
Scientific Fig. Processor for Research Data Graphics) to a format that
I can transform to .PCX.

The Fig.P program can write its files in the following formats:

.PCL  Laserjet
.HPG  Plotter
.CGM  Metafile
.PRT  DotMatrix
.EPS  PostScript
.SCD  Film (SCOD4)
.BGL  Film

When trying to import a Fig.P *.EPS file in Grafwork (a graphical
workshop for PC) I get the message "The EPC file you attempted to
access has no TIFF preview image installed".
This wouldn't be a problem if Grafwork could handle (ie transform)
the file, but it can't.

I also used VGACAP to grab the Fig.P image from screen , but the RAWtoGIF
utility of VGACAP made the picture 4 times as big as the original...

I few hints on how to deal with this problem would be very welcome.


Thanks.
