I know this is more of an e-mail thing but I thougt I'd post this to
emphasize a point:
GET THE PBMPLUS KIT THAT WAS POSTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO !!!!!
I work on Suns under SunView, HPs under X11, I have an Amiga at home and we
have Postscript printers at work. I have had excellent success in using this
utility to convert bitmaps back and forth between all these different imaging
models. Want X11 xwd to Sun raster ? No problem:
(monochrome)
xwdtopbm "xwd file" | pbmtorast > "rast file"
(color)
xwdtoppm "xwd file" | ppmtorast > "rast file"
