I modified MACimp (Macpaint -> Impress) to accept Sun bitmaps.  I had
to guess at the format for the rasterfile, since Sun doesn't seem to
distribute the manpages for screendump and screenload (I found the binaries
while poking around).  Anyway, I can mail the source to interested people,
but I would like to modify the program to actually read the rasterfile
header rather than toss it.  I had to guess at the format of the file
until now, but since rasterfile.h exists, I'd like to use it.

Currently, the bitmaps are rather small when printed, since Impress
magnify command does not work (yet).  I wrote a program to double the
image before handing it to the Imagen, but you need 540K of free memory
on your in order to print it.  We have a 3/4 Meg and a 1 Meg printer,
both with TCP/IP/Ethernet and the big bitmap just barely fits on the
1 Meg model.
