[comp.sys.sgi] Routine to dump screen in Alias/2 pixel file formats

XBR2D96D@DDATHD21.BITNET (Knobi der Rechnerschrat) (04/27/89)

Hallo,

  I need to dump some Iris screens according to the Alias/2 Pixel
file format, which uses some kind of simple run length coding.

  As I don't want to sit down an afternoon and write that code myself
my question is: has somebody done it and is willing to send me a
piece of C code that writes Alias/2 files ?

Regards

The new release of the BRL-CAD Package has a nice set of routines to
read and write Alias pixel files, written by Lee Butler of NASA/StSCI.
I'll send info on how to get it (free) under separate cover.

If you have IRIX 3.1 or greater, look in
