I am looking for PD software for the Sun 4 to do dithering on Sun color raster files so I can print them on my PostScript printer. Any suggestions? -Doug Ilg SFA, Inc. Naval Research Lab

Any suggestions? Sure. I have a program called xloadimage which uses a series of portable image manipulation routines I wrote to do dithering, zooming, depth reduction, and some other stuff. It's not lightning fast everywhere and it's not using the "best" algorithms, but it's fast enough and real portable. There are loaders for Sun rasterfile, X10 and X11 bitmaps, PBM images, and Faces Project images. The dithering algorithms is simple 4x4 halftoning. Works well enough for me. There are no routines to write images, but they ought to be trivial. Interested? jim frost software tool & die madd@std.com
