2238.0. "DPaint to Sixel" by BELFST::MCCLINTOCK (Peter) Tue Feb 14 1989 07:35

    Anyone know how I can convert DPaint files to Sixel for printing
    on the VAX?
               
    I have tried uploading the files and running CSIX on them but it
    produces an access violation.  Am I doing something wrong or are the
    DPaint files not IFF?  I think I read in this notes file somewhere that
    the DPaint files are compressed. 

    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    CSIX should work.  Did you define it as a foreign command:
    
    CSIX :== $disk:[dir]CSIX
    
             ^---  dollar sign is important.

    regards,

    Yes Steve, CSIX does the job.  My problem was a corrupt file on
    the upload.  I left out the SET FILE TYPE BINARY on VMS Kermit;
    I have generally found it unnecessary for downloading  but it seems
    important for uploading.
