I downloaded two binary picture file from comp.binaries.apple. When I tried to view them with a ProDOS startup program that I have, every other column of the picture is missing. Could someone tell me what's happening and how to fix it.

Could >someone tell me what's happening and how to fix it. Is the picture hi-res or double-hi-res? Does your picture-viewing program expect to deal with hi-res, double-hi-res, or either? It sounds like your program is expecting a double-hi-res picture and only reading in a single-hi-res one--the "missing columns" effect is consistent with that, because of the way double-hi-res pictures are stored. A hi-res picture, by the way, will probably be about 17 blocks long on your ProDOS disk, and a double-hi-res one will be about 33 blocks. -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

How does one go about ordering pictures from comp.binaries.apple? Or do you just take current files from the newsfeed that happened to be pictures? --- Michael J Pender Jr Box 1942 c/o W.P.I.
