848.1Yes, a hard one via CREATORHAN01::KUNTZEMatthias Kuntze SWAS Hannover ProjektzentrumFri Apr 27 1990 15:0123
     Hello Markus,
     
     I've tried this. But it's HORRIBLE! As SIGNUM II has it's own output 
     routine, you cannot put something like barrel between SPRINT and the 
     centronics port. But...
     
     If you have CREATOR V1.1+ (from Appl.Sys.Heidelberg) you get a program 
     which prints SIGNUM II output to a file (only .P24 fonts). So you have 
     approx. 1.5 MB per page as a file. With the second program you can con-
     vert this file into a file with different resolution (180, 360 dpi ..) 
     readable by CREATOR (different size, depends on dpi). You can modify 
     this 'picture' (e.g. DINA4) as you like and save it as an .IMG file.
     I copied this file to a VAX (using kermit), run STCVT and print the si-
     xel on a LN03 ... uufff.
     
     With 180dpi selected (CREATOR), the printing had nearly the same qua-
     lity as an VAX Document printout.
     
     Shocked?
