3512.0. "Unable to get high sixel resolution with DECpaint" by RHETT::KNORR (Carolina Blue) Tue Oct 23 1990 16:06

    In DECpaint (VMS V5.3-1) if I generate Postscript output of a drawing 
    at 75 dpi and another at 300 dpi I notice significant differences in 
    the 2 resulting outputs.  The 300 dpi is smaller and much crisper, as
    I'd expect.  The 75 dpi looks pretty much just like my workstation
    screen - jagged edges on ellipses, etc.
    
    Following the exact same scenario as above except for ANSI output
    is a different story.  The resulting output, whether generated at
    300 dpi or 75 dpi is *exactly* the same.  It is always of poor
    resolution.
    
    Has anyone noticed this before?  Am I missing something obvious?  
    I'll be happy to SPR this but thought I'd throw it out in here first.
    
    Much thanks,
    
    - Chris
