[comp.graphics] Neptune images / FBM 0.96

mlm@nl.cs.cmu.edu (Michael L. Mauldin) (09/05/89)

If you have downloaded the original EPS images from Hanauma.Stanford.EDU
(or Mazama.Stanford.EDU), they can be read by the FBM package using the
raw2fbm command:

	% raw2fbm -d1 -a1 -w640 -h480 -t'Title' -c'Copyright 1989 JPL'
	  < rawfile > fbmfile

The latest version of FBM, 0.96, is in alpha test.  FBM can now read
TIFF files, and read and write Utah RLE files.  The changes have been
tested on a microvax, but the code should work on any 32bit Unix
machine (previous versions were tested on Sun 3s and IBM RTs also).

    Directory:	/usr/mlm/ftp/
    Filename:	fbm.tar.Z
    Transfer:	'image'

    Note: you must 'cd' to /usr/mlm/ftp directly, you cannot access
    either /usr, or /usr/mlm alone.  Don't forget to specify 'image'
    format transfer.

    Other files:

	tiff.tar.Z		Sam Leffler's TIFF support
	utah.tar.Z		Utah RLE package
	pbm.tar.Z		Jef Poskanzer's PBM bitmap package

    You must have libtiff.a (from tiff.tar.Z) to read TIFF files, and
    you must have librle.a (from utah.tar.Z) to read and write RTE
    files.  Thanks to Paul Milazzo for adding RLE support to fbcat.
