a friend recently gave me a diskette containing an image captured by a targa board on an ibm pc. i managed to move the file to my sun workstation, and would like to display it on my monitor. this is for kicks, but if i can make it work, there may be a useful application in the offing. i have no technical information on the format of a targa file. can anyone out there tell me what i've got? my friend claims that the image is 512x512x24 bits. the file is 987922 bytes long. it's clear that there's some padding or control info in there, but i can't figure out where it stops and starts. any help is appreciated; respond directly to me, and i'll forward a summary to anyone interested. mike olson britton lee, inc. ucsfcgl!blia!mao olson@berkeley.edu
