This is my first posting, so please excuse any mistakes.

I have fig 1.4 from the SUG'88 exchange tape.

Is there a a way to get Sun rasterfile format files from fig?  I want to
use screenload.  My ultimate goal is to print them on an HP laserjet.  Is
there a way to convert fig files to HP laserjet files?

Thanks in advance.

[[ How about choosing "Save as BITMAP" from the "commands" menu?  There
are two programs in the Sun-Spots archives that may interest you.  One is
"hp-filters.shar", which contains printcap-style filters for the laserjet
(including one that converts rasterfile format).  The other is
"prraster.shar", which is a (different) program that converts a rasterfile
to something printable on an HP printer.  Both files are in the
"sun-source" section of the archives and  can be retrieved via anonymous
FTP from the host "titan.rice.edu" or via the archive server.  For more
information about the archive server, send a mail message containing the
word "help" to the address "archive-server at rice.edu".  --wnl ]]
