* files for descriptions of the bugs they fix.

*========================================================================*/
* xgrab dumps core after xgrabsc finishes
This has been reported for Sun3's running 4.0.3 and Tek 4319's
running Utek 4.1. Looks like the stack is being overwritten
by the system() call.
* Postscript images produced by xgrabsc don't get printed
This is almost always a memory requirement problem. Xgrabsc
v2.0 and later can generate checks for memory availability so
you can at least see how much memory you're lacking to be able
to print your document. I'd like to be able to preempt the
transfer of the rest of the file when there isn't enough memory
to process it, but haven't been able to make this happen.
* The puzzle program won't display xgrabsc output
While xgrabsc can create puzzle picture files from monochrome
screens, the puzzle program will not display pictures with "-
picture" on monochrome systems. This is not a "bug" in xgrabsc,
but is a "confusing feature".
* When started from a window-manager menu, xgrabsc fails to grab an image.
If you run xgrabsc from a Twm menu, be sure to end your exec
command with "&". The program may not be able to grab the pointer
or server unless you do this. This will likely happen with any
window manager, but has been reported onlyfor Twm.
* Encapsulate Postscript images are not centered or scaled when printed
This isn't a problem with xgrabsc. EPS files are not supposed to
contain scaling or transformation commands.
* The X cursor isn't included in images
If someone can tell me how to grab an image with the X cursor, I'd
be much obliged. Most X servers explicitely hide the cursor when
processing getImage requests.
* BadMatch errors are generated when grabbing with the keyboard (-k) and
the cursor is on a menubar
I haven't been able to reproduce this error.
* Can't grab xeyes
I haven't been able to reproduce this problem.
* Dithered output sent to "xpr" for a laserjet doesn't produce an image
I have no laserjet to test with.
* The halftoning algorithm in xgrabsc should be improved
Someone have a better algorithm? If so, please send it to me. I'm
not interested in supporting zillions of different dithering
algorithms, but would be happy to improve the ones already in xgrabsc.
* Postscript output doesn't center properly when printed
The default paper size is hard-coded into xgrabsc. If you're not
using the size of paper specified in config.h, you should use the
"-page" command to set the size of paper to be expected.
* Binary Postscript images appear dark when printed
Your print spooler is probably stripping off the top bits of the binary
data, causing the samples to be darker. Some systems have "lpr" options
to tell the spooler that the file you're printing contains binary data.
Consult your lpr documentation.
* Preview images appear reversed when displayed
Your tool does not match the setting of EPSF_BLACK in config.h. The
default setting of this value matches the EPSF v2.0 specification, but
some tools, such as older versions of xfig, expect the bits to be reversed.
