well, i was waiting for this to happen: the sysadm trashed the KaTeGIF directory here, so i think i'm going to put them all up on gaffa for the time being...i'll let you all know when that time is and what GIFs are up there (i'll also include a README on gaffa once they're all there...). umm, i lost a few, such as dream4.gif and the ones that eric france converted for me, so it'll be a bit before it's completely reconstructed...but event- ually, they'll all be there again... (note: it's not gaffa that got trashed, but *clutx*, so don't go freaking to doug or anything in a frenzy just yet! ;) an annoyed woj

Really-From: gb10@gte.com (Gregory Bossert) i join jeff burka in commending mike for his work in expanding the vital KTgif stores. it is therefore with the utmost humility that i suggest that the best way to distribute large files like gifs is to archive them on "eddie.mit.edu" for anonymous ftp access. admittedly, some people don't have ftp capability, but then again many people can't display gifs... and between the newsgroup and the mailing list these files can eat up a lot of bandwidth... i am hardly an expert on these matters -- please forgive if i am incorrect in this assertion. !hatoof -greg -- gb10@gte.com

Really-From: graham@UG.CS.DAL.CA (Michael Graham) I'm glad you liked it! There may be more to come...I also scanned the cover of TWS and TD...I don't have many photos of her. + the color album covers don't turn as nice because I donn't have a color scanner. Bye for now, mike

Thanks Ron it's good to be back.

I don't know what to tell ya Richard, the aspect ratio is a simple 640x400. As you know I'm doing them on an Amiga and converting them to the GIF format, every PC I have seen them on handles them just fine, no distortion etc. You have any software control over your display modes? I know that on Steve's (KAOS) PC the hardware/software looks at a GIF and decides the most suited display mode and defults to it. The whole point of my converting my KaTe scans from the IFF format to the GIF format is so that all of you PC folks can enjoy them, if there is any such thing as a _standard_ PC screen format that everyone would like to see them in please let me know...

hi! it's just GIF mania up there on hayes.ims.alaska.edu. i've
taken the liberty of adding a few more pictures to the collection,
all scanned from the original tour program i picked up at the KonvenTion.
the files are greyscale GIF format, with no more than 128 colors.
i used Adobe Photoshop on the Mac to clean the scans up -- nonetheless
there are still a few artifacts due to the glossy/bumpy texture
ot the program.
i have scanned every page of the program booklet, plus the enclosing
folder and a page of the stationary. sadly, my program is lacking the
poster included in the original package...
the pages marked * are photos of KaTe (and generally of high quality);
those not so marked are text, pictures of the band, etc, and are
of more scholarly interest... i wish i could have gotten the pastel
artwork on the folder (folder.gif) in color -- it's really gorgeous.
these GIFs (and this message) are in the directory:
pub/love-hounds/kb/pix/gif_tour_program
* folder.gif -- pastel artwork of a faun-like KaTe face. big.
folder_inside_l.gif -- list of concert dates
* folder_inside_r.gif -- lionhearty portrait
cover.gif -- same as folder.gif plus handwritten message
* back_cover.gif -- slightly odd portrait (a bit blurred)
stationary.gif -- was lilac! similar to folder.gif + photo
* page_1.gif -- black leotard photo
page_2.gif -- act one blurb
* page_3.gif -- amazing portrait
page_4.gif -- act two blurb
* page_5.gif -- wuthering heights/lace portrait (with some of the border)
page_6.gif -- act three blurb
page_7.gif -- band portraits (inc. Paddy and Del)
page_8.gif -- band portraits (inc. the dancers and Simon Drake)
page_9.gif -- credits
page_10.gif -- adverts and credits
* lionheart.gif -- the logo from page_9
i hope to write up a detailed description of the program to go with
these pictures -- i'll place in the same directory when it's done.
any interesting facts or trivia about the program would be appreciated!
feel free to comment on the worth of these GIFs -- pages 9 and
10, for example, could be summarized in far less space than the
GIF files take...
footah!

Gee Ron I almost sense some kind of competitiveness in your message. If thats the case I'm sorry but that was never my intent, I did after all send you my scans in the mail ages ago. I could have easily added all of the text with these scans but even I need to draw the line at some point, what I'm trying to say is I feel strange enough for copying all the previously _virtually_ (some have been seen on tv thats why I went ahead and made them available) unpublished photos and would not dare reproduce the _entire_ book without permission. That to me would seem to constitute just out and out copyright infringement. Good luck. Ken SaintJohn Ken.Saintjohn@bbs.oit.unc.edu "I think quotes are very dangerous things!" KaTe Bush...

Many thanks, Greg. This was very interesting. I haven't seen the whole thing yet but it looks like a great find. How much did you pay for it? (If you don't mind me asking). "Don't drive too slowly."
