Raster --> PostScript

[hankg at att.att.com]

Thanks to those who responded to my request for a conversion program from
a Sun color screendump to a gray-scaled PostScript file.  Here are the
results from that posting:

1) rastps - This program takes a sun rasterfile(5) and produces postscript
output that can be sent to any postscript printer.  From: falk at Sun.COM (Ed
Falk)

My test results of this were good.  SunView (8bit_only) and NeWS
screendumps (entire color screen contents) printed nicely on our
LaserWriter II.  Did not test converted .ps files on color PS printer.
Worked best using -e option.

2) psraster - Converts a Sun rasterfile directly to a Postscript format
file.  From: archive-server at rice.edu (Leonid Rosenboim, modified by
Bertrand Decouty.)

This worked fine with screen segments, but LaserWriter died on full
screendumps.  Nice documentation and options.

3) FBM package's fbps.  (Michael Mauldin) See Sun-Spots v7n179 for details.

I don't have FBM yet, but it's been well recommended.
