The wbimport distribution README file

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:
