        Wanted: Scientific Images and Image Sequences

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications and Apple Computer, Inc.
are making preparations to cut a compact disk to be distributed at AUC in
July and at ACM SIGGRAPH '89.  The Apple Science '89 CD will contain the
NCSA Scientific Software Suite for the Macintosh (NCSA Image, NCSA DataScope,
NCSA PalEdit, NCSA Layout).  In addition to these programs, we will include
approximately 300MB of images and animation sequences from researchers
around the world. 

NCSA is seeking examples of images that you have used in your research.
Single images that are elements of longer animations are also welcome.  We
will choose from those sent to us for inclusion in this first-of-its-kind CD.
All images used will be fully credited.  For full consideration, each image
or image sequence received must be accompanied by a short (1 paragraph)
description of the research that it represents, as well as the name, address,
email address, and affiliation of the researcher(s).  Submissions must be
received no later than April 10, 1989.  You may send these on floppy or on
tape, tar format preferred, to:

                Susan Goode - Science '89 CD Project
                NCSA - Software Development Group
                269 Computing Applications Building
                605 East Springfield Avenue
                Champaign, Illinois  61820

or, if the image is small enough, via electronic mail (binhex/StuffIt format
required) to:
                 sgoode@ncsa.uiuc.edu

In either case, please include a description of the format of your images
(i.e. HDF, PICT, binary 3 byte per pixel, GIF, SUN Raster, ...).
