After compiling QRT on our Sun-4(as well as my Amiga 2000) I tried to run some of the script files. The first part of the program ran fine, but when I tried to run the qrt2gif and qrtpost programs it comes up and tells me that the image is to big for the Amiga's HAM mode. I looked in the script files and could not find anything that controls the screen size(might not be looking to hard, and I did compile the prgs. with the -DAMIGA option). Any suggestions that would help??? later Barry Comer 870646c@aucs.UUCP

You should also specify the aspect ratio you want. The recommended value is .56 for Amiga HAM mode, but I find that it distorts things slightly. The other thing you could try would be to use command line options. You can specify x and res, and aspect ratio on the cammand line. As to why the pictures came out strange, I do not know for sure. You should probably go into qrt.h where all the #IFDEF's are listed and change the default #DEFINE UNIX TRUE to FALSE. Then change the Amiga define to true. Your complier probably ignored the -DAMIGA in favor of the defines in qrt.h. A version complied with Amiga defines should produce 320*400 pictures that have 400K .RAW files. The standard UNIX define makes 640*400 or some such thing which produces 800K files. Hope this helps fix whatever was wrong. -- Christopher Douty cdouty@jarthur.claremont.edu with STANDARD_DISCLAIMER; use STANDARD_DISCLAIMER; "Gun control is being with SILLY_QUOTE; use SILLY_QUOTE; able to hit your target"
