Subject: Postscript pictures???

Hi,
  I'm probably dreaming, but is there any possibility for easily 
generating postscript (or other common formats) from a standard Allegro 
graphics
session?
  In short, is there any way for me to run my normal graphics code and 
just send everything to a special type of stream (e.g. for a postscript 
file) instead of my normal window stream?  
  Basically, I draw a lot of different types of diagrams in Allegro, and 
it's kind of a pain to have to dump the data to files and then redraw 
them in another language (like MATLAB) to get nice print-outs.
  I'm using Allegro 5.01 or thereabouts.

One other question:

I've asked this several times, but the suggested solution never works:

  When running Allegro in Windows 98, I can't find a way to break my run 
without terminating Allegro itself.  This has become a real pain 
recently, since I'm debugging some pretty hairy code which frequently 
goes into hyperspace.  I have no problem halting stuff in Unix, but in 
Windows, the usual use of the Break key just isn't enough.  I have to do 
cntl-alt-break to get any interrupt, and then my only option is to kill 
lisp itself.

Cheers...
