Is there some code somewhere that could be used to write out Smalltalk
(Visualworks 2.0) Image instances in GIF, TIFF, XBM, JPEG or some other 
reasonably portable format?

The only solution I could come up with at the moment is to use screen
capture tools such as XV to grab screen shots, but this solution is
too tedious for my purposes. 

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions,
