I was curious about PIC files too ... I seem to remember that MTV's ray tracer outputs them. Is that true? (The files I'm thinking of have the image width and height present as a text string, with a space between the two numbers and a carriage return following the height, followed by RGBRGBRGBRGB... for all the pixels, top to bottom.) Is this a standard file format? Somehow I get the impression that there are several "PIC" file formats. I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this -- I've been using the above format for a lot of my work. Drew

PIC On Unix (as Andrew described) PIC On MSDOS (Windows draw) PIC On MSDOS (StoryBoard) PICT On MAC (PICT will be truncated to PIC on the conversion to MSDOS) etc ...
