[comp.windows.x] Img software update

raveling@isi.edu (Paul Raveling) (10/20/89)

	I've updated the Img software associated with the image
	collection on venera.isi.edu.  Changes include:

	  --	Minor bug fixes
	  --	A new program, showxcolors, to display an X11 color database
	  --	Access:
		..  Img.tar.Z is now available on both venera.isi.edu
		    and on expo.lcs.mit.edu.
		..  The /images directory tree on venera is now
		    fully visible through anonymous FTP "dir" commands.

	Appended to this note will be a slightly shortened copy of
	the /images/README file.

	This is a collection 1,166 images in "Img" format, a set of
	library routines called "imglib", and a set of programs
	built over imglib.  All are available by anonymous FTP
	from venera.isi.edu.

	If you've only retrieved Img.tar.Z, you should be aware
	that it includes only the README files within the four
	image directories.  To actually get images, you'll have
	to use anonymous FTP from:

		host  venera.isi.edu	path  [/]images

	Img.tar.Z is available in two places:

		host  venera.isi.edu	path  [/]pub/Img.tar.Z
		host  expo.lcs.mit.edu	path  [/]contrib/Img.tar.Z

	It may be updated more frequently on venera than on expo.
	Those who've fought with blind ftp on venera in the past
	will be delighted to know that the /images hierarchy is now
	completely visible.

	For additional information on image files, see the individual
	README files in /images/color_mapped, /images/color_rgb,
	/images/grayscale, and /images/monochrome.  For a summary of
	all files in the hierarchy, see /images/ls-RAlF.Z
