I am producing bitmapped images on a LaserWriter Plus using PostScript,
noteably the "image" operator.  The image data can get huge, and I would
like to do run-length compression.  Anybody know how if this is possible
using the "image" operator, or any other method in PostScript?

Please e-mail responses.

Thanx,
