Does anybody out there have a tool that will convert the RLE format from the utah-raster-toolkit to GIF. GIF is the only format I can easily display, and among the tools I have for converting images, there is not a series of commands that will convert RLE to GIF without hopelessly mangling to image (ie. changing it to monochrome). The wrinkle that causes this that I don't use X Windows because I can't afford the performance cost. I look forward to any and all solutions. I'd prefer C source, but will entertain other alternatives if necessary. BTW, I'm running Unix System 5 on a '386, but I'm willing to port from just about anything. Thanks in advance. -- SMY -- Stephen M. Youndt / "Remember, no matter where you go, uunet!hacker!steve / there you are." -- B. Banzai

Instead of rlequant, you could use mcut (mcut requires its input to be a file since it uses a two-pass algorithm). -- Rich -- ``Read my MIPS -- no new VAXes!!'' -- George Bush after sniffing freon Disclaimer: I speak for myself, except as noted.

Banzai Try the rletogif program that comes with the Utah raster toolkit. :-) It comes with the distribution. You can do an anonymous ftp from cs.utah.edu (128.110.4.21).
