request for help getting postscript files out of grass4.0

Joe,

To get a grass map to color PostScript, I can think if two ways...
  both require that you have the ppm software (comes with grass)
  compiled.

(1) o Display the map in a GRASS X-Windows Display
    o run: xwd | xwdtopnm | ppmtops -scale X > filename.ps (where X is
      some value like .8 just small enough that ppmtops does not complain
      about the image being too wide... trial and error)

(2) o select the driver ppm in p.select (if you have it compiled) and
      run p.map with your scale set to 8inches. Run the p.map script.
      (This put a file paint.ppm in your home dir)
    o run: ppmtops -scale .75 - > filename.ps

Hope this helps...
