[comp.graphics] UTAH Raster RLE --> PPM

panasun (Ken Marks (x2425)) (09/17/90)

I'm looking for the source for a conversion program from the Utah Raster RLE
format to the ppm format (or any other common format that might be read by
ppm).  I know the source for the entire Utah Raster Toolkit is on cs.utah.edu
but I cannot FTP (and all I need is to convert from this format).

I know "How do you convert from X to Y" messages clutter up this newsgroup
and this one has probably been posted before, but sometimes ya just gotta doit.

The Utah Raster Toolkit now supports (converts to/from) the PBMPLUS format.
The conversion program(s) require the existence of both the URT library
and the PBMPLUS libraries (libpgm.a or libppm.a).  Consequently, one
cannot just send the conversion routine itself, but the library source
as well.

I know that this response does not answer your question directly, but it
may help you to decide what to do next.
