My daughter has some beautiful educational programs (talking programs from FIRST BYTE), but they are only configured for two printers: IBM or EPSON (Proprinter or fx80??). I wrote a transducer for one of them from stored files to postscript, but I don't intend to dissect the graphics file format of some of the others! Is there a postscript wrapper which will cause a postscript interpreter behave like one of these printers INCLUDING GRAPHICS MODES? I guess there would be problems with 7 bit interfaces. Alternatively, are there printscreen/screendump driver which generates postscript around? Any pointers appreciated. Ramona thanks you in advance. -- Jordan Pollack Assistant Professor CIS Dept/OSU Laboratory for AI Research 2036 Neil Ave Email: pollack@cis.ohio-state.edu Columbus, OH 43210 Phone: (614)292-4890 (then * to fax)
