- We are running Frodo on an ESV10/33 and need to get good quality dumps of the
- windows into postscript for putting onto slides. We have been given a version of
- xwd and a program called colordump to convert its output to postscript. This
- doesn't seem to produce very good results, our first attempt meerly produced a
- black slide. It seems that turning the monitor's brightness up and reducing the
- size of the window before dumping produce better results, but it seems to me there
- should be a better way of doing it. If there is an image on the screen that one
- can see then shouldn't it be possible to produce a good reproduction on a slide.
- Any help, advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
