The REF file consists of a direct access file with a record length of
one horizontal line of pixels. The number of records and record size
depends on the type of Ramtek chosen
REFDIS places each horizontal line of the output array into each
record of the REF file.
The REF file can subsequently be read by the REFTERM program and
plotted to the "real" Ramtek device. To produce a hardcopy output
of the REF file on a QMS laser printer, the program REFLAS reads
the file and produces a simulated gray scale image with 4 gray levels.
REFLAS prompts the user for the appropriate inputs. In the VAX/VMS\
environment, the program REFLAS2 can be used. REFLAS2 provides significantly
faster run times by using the VAX paging utility and downloadable fonts.
