Hello, I'm writing a program to convert Sun color rasterfiles to Mac PICT2 format so that we can drive a film recorder that's attached to a Mac. I've written most of the converter but the files won't display on the Mac. I've noticed that some PICT2 files I looked at had more than the minimum (according to me) opcodes. I assumed that a layout of 512 byte header picSize picFrame opVersion $02ff opHeader ... opPackBitsRect ... opEndPicture would work, but are these opcodes critical: clipRgn, defHiLite, shortComment? We're transferring the file via ftp to the Mac. Do we have to do anything to the file after ftp to make it acceptable to PICT2 reading programs? The other question is where can I find a ftp archive of PICT2 pictures to disassemble? Please reply by email, I don't read this newsgroup normally. I'll forward replies if requested. Thanks in advance. Ken ken@cs.rochester.edu ...!rochester!ken
