Is there a program to convert ordinary sun rasterfiles to run-length
encoded sun rasterfiles? I can do this by loading it into an
editor (touchup) and saving it, but there should be a better way.

I can do this by loading it into an Also along these lines, does anyone know how to convert the 'old-style' sun rasterfiles to either the standard or rle type ? The type is encoded in bytes 20-24 of the raster file, where: 0 = oldstyle, 1=standard, and 2=run-length. It seems that some graphics utilities (ie, FrameMaker) cannot load old-style formats but have no problem w/ the other 2. Craig Marcus Carnegie Mellon U.

The answer to the original question is "/usr/lib/rasfilters/convert.2". The answer to the new question is "/usr/lib/rasfilters/convert.0". -- David DiGiacomo, MIPS Computer Systems, Sunnyvale, CA dd@mips.com
