I know this is an old subject that has been asked over and over, but I was off the system for awhile. Where can I download pictures from the Neptune flyby? Preferably in an Amiga graphics format. Thanks in advance. - Sean Schur

It appears that the amiga directory at Trantor.UMD.EDU is no longer accessable. Therefore I have uploaded the Neptune pictures to three different sites. etana.tut.fi [128.214.1.1] /tmp/public/neptune?.* louie.udel.edu [128.175.1.3] /pub/neptune?.* mazama.stanford.edu [63,51,0,8] /pub/amiga/neptune?.* Note: the first site in in Finland, the third site is where I got the original data from. The first two directories are temporaries; the files may get moved to the "amiga" directory. The four files are: -rw-r--r-- 1 jms 5616 Nov 9 23:07 neptune0.readme -rw-r--r-- 1 jms 555424 Sep 7 01:21 neptune1.zoo -rw-r--r-- 1 jms 518290 Sep 13 02:20 neptune2.zoo -rw-r--r-- 1 jms 82496 Nov 9 20:13 neptune3.zoo Neptune3.zoo includes a script using ShoWiz as a slide show. It is set up to work equally well with the pictures on two Amiga floppies, or with them in two subdirectories of a hard disk. For those of you on DECNET, I sent the files to guineau@wjg.enet.dec.com (W. John Guineau 291-7144 NKS1-2/H9). I also sent two full floppies to Fred Fish. I hope there is not a problem with him distributing ShoWiz, since it is shareware. But it is the only program I have found that correctly displays a 480 line picture and works right when double-clicking on the picture's icon. -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: JMS@F74.TYMNET.COM or jms@gemini.tymnet.com McDonnell Douglas FSCO | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-D21 | PDP-10 support: My car's license plate is "POPJ P," San Jose, CA 95161-9019 | narrator.device: "I didn't say that, my Amiga did!"
