LPIC2PS - Lotus PIC to PostScript Conversion

LPIC2PS converts Lotus PIC files to PostScript for printing. Lotus PIC files are produced by the Psion Sheet application on the Series 3.

Sheet includes no facility to do anything with the graph files other than save them to disk in what are confusingly called .PIC files, although they have nothing to do with Psion bitmaps, which are also saved as .PIC. The Sheet graphs are saved in Lotus PIC format, as first used in Lotus 1-2-3.

Past suggestions for what to do with these graphs have mainly centred on a discussion of the various ways to capture the screen image and then print this bitmap. Of course, if you've been asked to do a presentation for your boss, presenting her with your blocky bits should scupper your promotion chances.

LPIC2PS will run on a Psion or on any other platform that you can transfer the PIC file to. The code to run on the Psion is in OPL, but I've also included a version in `C', which should compile anywhere. See the README file in the archive for more details.

This code was first released in January 1996 as DOPIC. Other than the renaming of this release, the only difference is the change to my email address.

Andrew Brooks of Dundee University has produced a number of utilities that perform format conversions. Visit the arb's Psion page.
