does anyone know of a program to convert *normal* ham images to dynamic hires? I downloaded a viewer for it, but can make nothing to see! jeff jra1@ra.msstate.edu

DigiView 4.0 can perform this function very nicely. It's a bit time consuming and from what I've seen the results can be somewhat less than impressive.

The Art Department can also perform this task. TAD supports ARES (Dynamic Hi Res) and AHAM (Dynamic HAM). The files are interchangable. It is interesting to note that our ARES algorithm and Newtek's DHR algorithm both attack the same problem but from completely different approaches. You'll find that DV4.0 produces good results on some images which TAD does poorly on, and TAD produces good results on some images which DV4.0 does poorly. In general, you'll find that TAD generated ARES images contain several times more color than the same DV4.0 generated DHR image. Sometimes, it is the fact that we use a lot more color that causes poor results. On the whole I would remind everyone that ARES and DHR are little more than eye candy - not a real useful mode for general purpose computing. pk -- Perry Kivolowitz, ASDG Inc. ``We look for things.

I recently downloaded DynaShow from a bbs, and I was pretty impressed with the sample Dynamic Hires pics they included in the zoo file. Now, I've trashed the disk I had it on, and I can't find DynaShow anywhwere either. Does anybody know where I could find it? (Fred Fish, maybe?), and also, maybe even more importantly, is there a (hopefully PD) converter to make Dynamic Hires pics (out of Gifs or Sun Rasters)?
