Please consider the following problem: I would like to print a color graphics
screen. Unfortunately, this is not a presentation space, but some lobotomized
construct which was constructed by HALO calls. The device context thing is
definitely not the solution I'm after.

However, I can save the screen in *.pcx format. What I would like to do is to
convert this to a *.pif file, and then print it using the PicPrint() call.

Now for the real problem: What is this mysterious *.pif? Yes, HELP tells me
that it spells Picture Interchange Format, and all the PIF Index entries refer
me to some factoid that tells me essentially the things I know already, but
ther is nowhere a format description of that mysterious PIF Format.

Could anybody please point me to a description of this format, or suggest a
better method for printing a HALO screen via PM (i.e., an undocumented
DoHardCopy Call ;-) )

Any help greatly appreciated!
