Install a PostScript printer configured to the FILE: port. 2. Load the image into Paintbrush. Note: your display must have enough resolution to display the picture. I.E. you can't load a 256 color PCX onto a VGA without losing color information. 3. Choose File.Print. And press OK. At the file prompt type in the name you want for the PostScript version. Hope this helps. Ken Sykes Disclaimer: The above opinions are solely my own.
