Sorry if this gets sent out more than once but I tried once and it got nuked right in the middle of sending. Basically, I'm looking for FTP sites accepting anonymous login. I have created a list on my own (with some help from some people, much thanks) of a little over 150 sites and am looking for more. If anyone else has a list of favorite FTP sites they frequent I would be grateful for any lists or other information you could mail me. Right now my list has the name, IP address, and a short dscription of what was there that caught my interest. If there are any requests for a final list I could summarize and post to the net. Thank you, Jon Granrose _____________________________________________________________________________ |Jon Granrose | ARPA: odin@ucscb.UCSC.EDU |CIS: 74036,3241| // Only | |Cowell College, UCSC | UUCP: ...!ucbvax!ucscc!ucscb!odin |\X/ Amiga!| |Santa Cruz, CA 95064 |Bitnet: odin%ucscb.ucsc.edu@cunyvm.bitnet ~~~~~~~~~~| |"A mind is a terrible thing" "Remember, no matter where you go there you are"| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ignoring the question of images groups for the moment, I'd like to know if anyone is even CREATING images anymore. I've run through several anonymous ftp sites, and none seems to have any images that haven't been around for several months. Is anyone producing new images? If so, do you have anonymous ftp availablility? I know that many people dont have ftp, so maybe ftp isn't the final solution. But in the meantime, lots of people do have it, and we'd like to see some new things. Scott Mark -- sjm@cs.purdue.edu

When I have time, I try creating new images with QRT. However, time has made it impossible to do anything very recently (within a month or so). I am also porting many Amiga HAM files to GIF or Sun raster versions (with a loss of color, of course). ftp to geomag.gly.fsu.edu 128.186.10.2 (anonymously) and then cd to /pub/pics Look in the 256_color directory for original titles that you haven't seen before. As I develop my new algorithm for ray-tracing, I will be creating a multitude of new images. I will place these there as well. Some of what I've been doing include: snow covered fractal mountains (in DBW_Render) a telescope (designed using conics in QRT) I know the first is not *original*, but my pictures are. Look for these in upcoming months on the ftp site. ---Prem Subrahmanyam

I FTP'd a couple of these images, but what kind of image format is RST (i.e., one of the files was named beach2.rst)? Does anyone have info on this format?

Does anyone have > info on this format? Sun-raster (makes sense since the machine on which they reside is a color Sun 3/60). The FBM package by Michael Mauldin can convert to and from this format to others (Amiga IFF, GIF, FACE, etc.). I don't have the specs on the Sun raster format, sorry. ---Prem Subrahmanyam

Does anyone keep a master list of ftp sites anywhere? I've got one that was posted to comp.graphics a while ago by odin@ucscb.ucsc.edu. Still shouldn't the net administrators be handling this and posting a list somewhere more standardized (than comp.graphics)? -ZTSmith (zs04+@andrew.cmu.edu)
