It allows you to generate encapsulated postscript as well as just a straight postscript file. After adjusting it to get full size printouts of various images I left those options in my configuration file and made them the defaults. The output file is on an NFS mounted file system that my workstation shares, so I just lpr the file to the printer down the hall and poof a hard copy of an IFF image. It's available from Tom's BBS (415) 32-RADIO, and from kilowatt as iff2ps20.1 --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
