- I am trying to display an X-window screen dump on a color Mac.
- I had gone through the following steps:
-
- - xwd /* grab an X-window image */
-
- - xwdtopnm /* convert xwd format to ppm format */
-
- - ppmtopict /* convert ppm format to Mac PICT format */
-
- - mcvert -dDqv filename /* translate the file to MacBinary format.
- MAC_DTYPE is set to PICT */
-
- - transfer the file to Mac using ftp command (binary mode)
-
- - using ResEdit change the file format to PICT
-
- However, the file is opened as a blank picture by MacdrawII or
- Canvas3.04.
-
- Can anyone tell me what I did wrong or How I can display a
- X-window screen dump on a color Mac?
-
- Any help will be greatly appreciated.
