5793.0. "Color Postscrip Print Screen Help" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (poletti sergio) Wed Mar 05 1997 08:09

I need to obtain a Color Postscipt file of the "entire workstation screen".
The environment is Alpha/VMS with CDE.

The standard Print Screen utility on DecWindows is very slow, are there some
other product that produce a faster Print Screen on Color Postscript Format ?

Xwd is faster, but doesn't produce a Color Postscript file, is there some way
to convert Xwd graphics format to Color Postscrip Format ?

try to use XV.EXE. It's a Shareware-Utility for graphics image manipulation. You
find it on the OpenVMS Freeware CD 3.0 or on
http://www.openvms.digital.com/openvms/freeware/cd.html. It can grab the
contents of a window (root window too) and save it as Postscript format. I'm not
sure if it is faster than PrintScreen, I think the bottleneck is the
disadvantage of Postscript to change image data to ascii representation. My disk
quota don't want to know how large the Postscript file of a Screendump of my
Workstation would be ;-)
