PCX2PS.TXT 11/12/89 Larry Brennan
Programs from DDJ Aug89 by Kent Quirk.
To compile with MSC:
cl/c pcx.c
cl/c prpcx.c
To Link
link prpcx+pcx;
PRPCX.PS remains a text file which will be read into the output file
by prpcx.exe. See Usage() Subroutine in PRPCX.C, or just enter PRPCX
to read Usage. Output file should be a PostScript useable file. May
need the .EPS extension added, I forgot to look. MOONLT.PCX is a file
created by Bill Hinkle's GIFPCX from MOONLT.GIF file and can be used
as a trial case. PRPCX.PS is the user rewritable instructions to
a PostScript device to be used to print the output file. Good Luck in
testing and don't forget to report your findings. Larry.
Additional Notes by Bill Hinkle 5 June 1992
Modified to only use ANSI-C header files and to append a Ctrl-D to the end
of the PostScript stream to indicated end-of-job to PS printers. Further
modified to add the -a option, to auto-scale PCX resolution to printer
resolution. Note that older PCX files may have pixel spans in the
resolution fields, rather than the dots-per-inch necessary to make this
work properly. Hence the option, defaulting "off".
Compiled under Lattice C V6 and bound so as to operate as either a native
OS/2 app or DOS app. If you are setting this up as an OS/2 2.0 program
object, then make the object's Parameters include "-oLPT1" to print
directly to the default LPT1 printer, and Working Directory to the
directory containing PRPCX.PS (the PS header file). You can also add
scaling Parameters; type PRPCX to see the syntax. Use [ ] in the Parameters
to prompt for a PCX name, otherwise drag-and-drop will work automatically.
Start Minimized is also a good setting for use with drag-and-drop.
