I am working on some changes to Adobe Transcript pssun,
which converts sun pixrect files to postscript images.

Briefly, the changes involve making the resultant postscript
file conform to the document structuring conventions (e.g
and accurate %%BoundingBox comment) and adding a report
feature, whereby pssun generates a suitable TeX \special
command.

Trivial to do.

Then, along came Transcript 2.1. Ah Ha, thought I, let's use
the latest and greatest version as fodder for our hackery.
Surprise! the code is no longer there.

Can anyone comment? Where did it go? Is there something better
around? Does <everyone> use NeWS or X11? Or did Adobe just forget?
