I have converted the BRL images into 256-color GIF files and placed
them on uunet:/tmp/war/*.gif; the original BRL images also are there.
The titles and descriptions are:
aaa2.gif
Anti Aircraft Artillery from the night-vision camera used by a reporter
(from ITN?) on the initial raid on Baghdad.
cockpit-close.gif
Close-up shot of a pilot in the cockpit of a fighter (an F-15E?)
f15-liftoff.gif
Side view of an F15 taking off of a runway (perhaps Dhahran)
tomahawk2.gif
View of a tomahawk cruise missile being launched.
wisconsin-deck2.gif
View of the deck of the Wisconsin.
[For a.d-s readers, there were some 24-bit images placed on BRL for
anonymous FTP; the announcement was made in comp.graphics]

The resolution is 720*486 pixels. I regret that of the 450+ anonymous FTP connections on Friday, most of you were unable to obtain the images. The machine VGR, a VAX-11/780 was overwhelmed, and we ran out of disk space too. The BRL anonymous FTP archive has moved to a new machine, with more disk space and 120 times the CPU power. Access should no longer present a difficulty. As always, the FTP archive is accessed as host FTP.BRL.MIL. If your name server has not yet acquired the new address, you can access it by the numbers as 128.63.16.158. We reserve the right to transfer the archive from machine to machine, but the pseudo-host named "FTP.BRL.MIL" will always point to the correct machine. Here is the new war/README file: WAR IN THE GULF IMAGES These compressed images are in BRL-CAD .pix file format. They are 24-bits/pixel, 720 by 486 pixels. They were acquired from video with a Faroudja NTSC->RGB decoder, fed into an Abekas A20, sent as D-1 digital video to an Abekas A60 digital video disk, and then stored on disk via TCP/IP ethernet transfer from the Abekas. For sites with the BRL-CAD Package, these images can be displayed with the command: zcat file.Z | pix-fb -w720 -n486 For other formats: >> From: Steve Hayman <sahayman@porbeagle.cs.indiana.edu> >> I've written a quick hack to convert these images to PPM format so that >> popular tools like 'xv' can display them.

More details on the image file format can be found in the file "../brl-cad/pix.5". It is my intention to provide GIF format versions of these images here in a few days. If you plan to get only one image, get the "scud+launcher.Z" file.

It is really to bad that people have to be so simple minded about the war. I suppose you think it is ok for a dictator to invade a country, annex it, steal it's wealth and brutalize its people... no matter how corrupt that invaded nation is, it has a right to exist, especially if it is a part of the United Nations. The UN gave Iraq plenty of time to withdraw... they chose to face war instead of withdrawing. What good are international laws if they are not enforced? We must stop agression at the root. If one agression is allowed, many more will follow. Ignoring reality is not the road to peace. Look at the example of pre WWII Europe. It wasn't our problem then either, and we didn't get involved... and the agressors kept on taking more and more until the world finally woke up and took action. If we would have ignored him now... the question would have been where would he strike next? If you are complaining about civilian deaths in Bagdad, what about Iraqi attacks on innocent, uninvolved civilian populations in Israel and terrorist targets around the world? What about the parading of POWs on Television? "Give peace a chance."... between western minds, this makes sense, but tell Sadam Hussein and see what type of answer you get. Tell that to ANY fundamentalist moslem Arab in the Middle East and see what they say. They are barbarians with no concept of peace or internatinal law. Their view is one filled with ideas like dying in a holy war (jihad) against the great satanic alliance in a suicide attack is a sure way to paradise. You cannot reason with people like that. Maybe we should post GIFs of: raped.kuwaiti.woman.GIF brutalized.POW.GIF tortured.kuwaiti.GIF wounded.israeli.GIF THINK ABOUT THE REALITIES OF THE SITUATION... THINK BEYOND IDEALISTIC RHETORIC... SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. David Frerichs
