By the way, the image is produced by vector graphical software which can emit PS and PCL. The PS has unacceptable defects; two or three different widths of dimension line on one drawing for example. If this Vinci language is really worth its salt, the right solution is a Vinci -> PS or Vinci -> PNG translator. But that won't help immediate needs. So I am trying the PCL.

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_Command_Language" mentions compression in PCL 6. It might serve for storing images but I don't know of any such usage. > Have you tried OpenPCL Viewer? * From: <noela...@gmail.com> * Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2012 09:28:43 +0000 (UTC) > ... use a tool to convert the pcl file into something more > manageable, like PostScript or PDF. ... GhostPDL (binary > is "pspcl6") ... Will try both of those approaches. Thanks, ... Peter E. -- 0123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 Telephone 1 360 639 0202.
