[comp.sys.mac.misc] TO DISPLAY IMAGES ON MAC+ ???

gt3172a@prism.gatech.EDU (MULLICK,RAKESH) (11/06/90)

I would like to know if anyone out there has seen any software package
( even in PUBLIC DOMAIN ) which allows one to display Images by 
techniques like dithering etc on the Macintosh Plus. What if one has
a binary file which one would like to display on the MAC + ? What 
format must the matrix be written out in so as to display inside packages like
MacPaint, etc. Any sugestions / information regarding this matter and valid
image formats for the Macintosh would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
a bunch.

The only program I know that does this (displays/converts GIF and other
such image formats on Mac Plus) is Vision Lab.  I ahve V1.0d12DEMO
dated 6/24/88, By John Raymonds, GENIE:  RAYMONDS,
Compuserve:  76174,205  (I think that's 76174.205@compuserve.com from
the Internet).  I don't see it on listserv/sumex, so I must have picked
it up off a local BBS.  It says it may be freely distributed, that it's
a demo version with some features disabled (notably handling of TIFF
files), but it does fine at converting GIF  to/from MacPaint, and I think
,too, EPSF.

Maybe you can email John for the latest?  Suggest he post it to comp.binaries?
Maybe there's a commercial version now?  Does anyone know?
