Using MacPS; 14-Oct-85
.s;Macintosh MacPaint pictures may be included in Scribe documents and
printed on the Apple LaserWriter using the MacPS program.
.s;You must first transfer your MacPaint file
to the DEC-20 by using Kermit, MacGet/MacPut, FTP from another machine,
or some other means. Be careful to assure that the files are transferred
with 8 bits per byte, and not 7.  This is crucial to the success of the
conversion.
.s;Once you have the file on the DEC-20, type the command
.bl.i3;UNS:MACPS
.s;to start MacPS.  Here is a example of extracting a full-page MacPaint
image to be included in a Scribe document.
NOTE: prompts with nothing after them indicate typing a carriage
return to use the default value.

your document. Insert a line like the following in your Scribe manuscript:
.bl.i3;@Figure[@Picture(Size = 2 inches, ScaleAbleLaser="MY-PICTURE.PS")]
.s;and run Scribe.  The image will appear at the appropriate spot on the page
when you print the document on the LaserWriter.
