Subject: [FT] Library for xfig

Just wondered if anyone is interested in my library for xfig (Unix fig
program)?

I'm using it to make 3x5's with various ships on them. I'll put a control
track on the back and laminate the cards. Dry erase markers and I can stop
printing sheets.

I'm slightly curious... haven't used xfig for a while, though. How easy is it
to convert to other formats, specifically Postscript?

I've nearly finished my shiptools package, which contains a full ship
design system, fleet editor, and fleet printer - which produces full SSD
sheets. I'll announce it here when it's ready for download; it's written
in Perl/Tk, which means that although it's primarily meant for Unix,
there shouldn't be any problem with running it on Windows...

fig2dev also does a variety of image formats. I'm using it through ghostscript
to print cardstock on my DeskJet.
