ok, I got the post from John Yates, a summary of the ways to get
a screen image into other formats.
So, I took a snapshot of the screen. Ran tops on it, to get the
file snap.ps.
I can't get this file to print. Our Irises spool their printing
to a Mac running A/UX, which then prints it to a LaserWriterII NTX.
snap.rgb is 157405 bytes, snap.ps is 1878266. Is this norm?
I looked at the snap.ps file; it looks like PS to me:-(
Has anyone done this exact thing? I.E. the following
1. snap the screen
2. run it through tops : tops snap.rgb snap.ps
3. either :
lp snap.ps (knowing that the printer is a network
Apple LaserWriter)
or
cat snap.ps | lp
4. gotten a printout?
How about taking the snap.ps over to the mac, and pasting it into
a document??
