2bit Monochrome tiff file generator

Does anyone know of a .plt file that creates 2 bit b/w files in one
go, the standard Microstation tiff.plt outputs 24 bit colour files, I
know you can convert the 24 bit to 2 bit in V8's raster manager, but
I'd rather not create the 24 bit files in the first place.

Mike,
I do not know about the 2 bit part.
I do know you can output to B/W by editing and using the tiff.plt
file and find the number of pens.

num_pens= 255 ;Defines pens used <- this is full colour

change that to

num_pens= 1 ;Defines pens used <- this is b/w

text behind the semicolon is ignored.
Well, there's a start.

I fixed it right the first time,
it must have failed for other reasons.

Thank's Ivo
I've already done that, the files are still 24 bit colour even though
they come out B/W an so the file size is still much larger than it
need be

try save as options in view companion (trial 30 days software) from your
hpgl plot file
has heaps of file types and its really very cheap.

Prehaps I remember wrong, but I think CIT-files are 2-bit.
Ustn can convert files rasters to .cit UTILITIES>IMAGE>CONVERT
