I'm looking for a way of producing encapsulated postscript from an X11
screen dump.  I have some windows that I want to get a snap shot of and
include them in a LaTeX document.  I tried the following sequence with
limited success:
	xwd | xwdtoppm | ppmtopgm | pgmtops > file.ps

The problem here is that the window trim is removed and that the
bounding box isn't correct if I use the scale option of pgmtops.  I've
heard there is another set of bit manipulation routines (Fuzzy Bitmap
Manipulation FBM) but haven't been able to locate it.

Are there any other ways to get window dumps into EPS?

Thanks,
