DECwindows graphics file conversions?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Dear Sir,
 
I am working on a VAX Station 4000 VLC and running VMS V5.5-2. I was wondering if it was at all possible to do a "print screen" and to save this image as a *.bmp/*.jpg. I would then like to transfer this file to PC and paste  it into a word document. I ha
ven't been working for very long on this system - about 1 month now (I apologise if this is a lame question). If this is possible, do I need some graphics editor for VMS and could you suggest one? Thank you in advance.

The Answer is :

 
  Postscript, Sixel, and DDIF output are the normal choices for the
  DECwindows Print Screen widget, which would mean one of several
  conversions would likely be needed to reach a bitmap or jpeg formats
  suitable for importation into the target environment.
