A program titled POSTSCRIPT is included which will convert the LONGLIB metafile into a PostScript page language format. This can then be printed to PostScript compatible printer (such as an Apple Laserwriter). No ``strips" are used. Linetypes and width are supported. Input color changes are output as gray tones. METMAP output is supported with 256 gray "levels" (0=black, 255=white). The postscript converter supports image mode output with a maximum size of 256x256 pixels per ``image''.
An example of the use of the POSTSCRIPT program in the VAX environment follows. The LONGLIB metafile input is FOR003.DAT. The output is OUT.LIS.
$ POST :== $LONGLOC:POSTSCRIPT
$ POST FOR003.dat ! run POSTSCRIPT conversion
$ print/que=POSTSCRIPT OUT.LIS ! print output to printer
