I could then print the sixel output on a DEC LN03 or LN03+ and also include into my TeX documents using the \special directive. If a public domain program exists to do so or a similar utility that can be modified to perform the task I'd greatly appreciate receiving the source. The motivation here is to use the LN03 as a graphics output device. The LN03+ can emulate the Tektronics PLOT10 language so the gray shades could also be converted to PLOT10 and printed on a LN03+.
