> I have some code which will work

Tell me if your code will work:

I have my machine hooked up to an Epson FX-86e printer and can do
screen dumps in graphics mode (a 640x400 non-standard CGA mode) to it.

I can send postcript files out through my serial port to a Mac which
will then send it to a Laserwriter.

Can I use you program to take the printscreen data going to the FX-86
and save it to a Postscript file (which I can then send to the printer
via my program)?

If so, tell me more ....
