3310.0. "PAINT utility file conversion." by UTRTSC::CAHILL (Why did I come back ?) Thu Sep 06 1990 09:38

    I have a question for all users of the paint utility..
    
    I have a customer who is creating files using paint.He wants 
    to print them out on a sixel printer.He can do this OK using
    the options available but what he would like to do is save
    the files after creation and print then at a later date in 
    batch.
    He is looking for a utility to convert the files into
    SIXEL ( if possible ) and the send them to a printer.
    His reason is to cut down on the time it takes for 
    DECwindows to convert and print the files.
    
    My question is is this possible and if so how,I thought 
    about using CONVERT/DOCUMENT,and ideas very welcome..
    
    Thanks,
    
    GC.

	Try the DECimage product - it has an IMAGE RENDER
	and one of the outputs is SIXEL...
