    Tasks KNTR, GREYS, PCNTR can all make large grey-scale plot files
with full labeling.  Then LWPLA can make PS files.  TVCPS is really
for copying the TV contents where the labeling was done by TVLAB - but
if one copied the graphics plane it would not align with the full
image and would be in error.

I know nothing about limits outside AIPS - I suspect that the 14K is
way too much for some things.  There is no way that it can be printed
either on regular paper.  11 inches times 600 dots/inc means only 1/2
dot per pixel which is of little use.
