So, does anybody know when these fabulous pics of neptune will be available in sun workstation format, or in .GIF format? P.S. How about earlier pics of Jupiter/Saturn & moons? In the rare case that original ideas Kenneth J. Hendrickson N8DGN are found here, I am responsible. Owen W328, E. Lansing, MI 48825 Internet: hendrick@frith.egr.msu.edu UUCP: ...!frith!hendrick

Someone posted a message that lots of GIF's (including the latest neptute and triton pictures) from their machine. I think it was grape.ecs.clarkson.edu. Anyway, I ftp's there and went into binary mode and got a bunch of pics. But when I ftp's them down to the mac (I was in binary this time, too), it (Vision Lab) either opens a solid black screen (i.e., pictures mapped to an apparently-synthesized all-black CLUT) or it complains about bad LZW codes or early EOF's. The bottom line: the GIF's are either corrupted or I'm doing something wrong. I'd like to believe it's the second thing, but since I've tried numerous ways of doing this, I'm afraid that it might be the first (though I find this hard to believe). Would someone (perhaps the person whose machine this is) care to enlighten us about what format it is/how we shoulf ftp it/anything else which is important...? Adam -- "He didn't fall?
