I too had a corrupted Imagine.pic file and not being one to just sit back
and wait for the mail while my multi-hundred dollar program collected dust,
I was able to "hack" that damn image out of the code. This way even if you
have the pic, you can do away with it's time overhead too. (BTW, you will
have to remove or rename the Imagine.pic file as I think if it is there and
not corrupt after my fix, you'll get the same symptoms as we got with a corrupt
file):
Use NewZap or similar sector editing program.
For the floating point version:
Load block 373,
locate two occurence of $1830,
change $66 after first $1830 to $67
save block 373
(make sure Image.pic is absent or renamed)
for integer version:
Load block 376
locate two occurcnes of $189c
change $66 after first $1830 to $67
save block 376
(make sure Image.pic is absent or renamed)

I ordered the SAS/C 5.10 upgrade...Disk #1 has a read/write error, Disk #2 guru's my machine a few seconds after it's inserted. Talk about crapola quality control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. Yes...I've let the people at SAS know about this, they're 'looking into it and we'll get back to you real soon'.

Look at it this way -- SAS probably has a DUPLICATION house do the
en-masse disk sets. I know I wouldn't pay people to swap disks in and out of
a drive :-) They depend on the dup house TO DO the quality control. And a
random sample will probably not turn up any defective ones.
I got my SAS 5.10 upgrade and ..... it had been opened and the disks
taken out (TRUE TRUE TRUE!!). I called SAS and they sent it out 2nd day air
(I know it cost only 2.40) again. Nice customer support if you ask me.
