This is a quick hack to help with giving seminars via wb. It also lets
you stuff scanned images or X window dumps into wb. There should be 4
files here:
- 'wbimport' is the program that coordinates the scanning & pokes
wb to give it the resulting file.
- 'doWbScan' is a shell script invoked by wbimport to actually do
the scan. It should produce postscript & send its output to
stdout.
- 'doWbXwd' is a shell script invoked by wbimport to do an X window
dump of some window on the current screen & convert it to postscript.
- lzps is a program to convert random postscript files into LZ compressed
level-2 postscript (which gs & some new printers can deal with). This
is used by the doWbScan & doWbXwd to compress the ps files & save net
bandwidth.
(the "start" program from the previous wbimport release is no longer
needed -- wbimport searches for a "wb" window when it comes up and,
if there's more than one, asks which you want.)
Wbimport can also be used if you have a set of postscript files that
you would like to import into wb in some sequence (eg., for a prepared
presentation). If you put the postscript file names in a file where
each line has the format:
