Greetings!

        I just built XV (v2.21) for a friend with a DECstation 5000/125
running Ultrix (I don't know the version, but could find it...) and I
have determined that he is using the DXWM window manager.  I have
discovered a problem with the root window mode.  When I put an image in
the root window, it ONLY appears under any other window.  Thus, it is
invisible until you move, close, or shrink any existing window.  It is
possible to "wipe" the screen with a DECterm (or the XV control window)
and eventually get the entire background to be visible, but obviously
this is not desirable :).

        I know others have XV running on DECstations, is this true for
anyone else?  I essentially built XV 'straight', using the supplied
Makefile unchanged.  I have since found a reference (negative!) to DXWM
in the Imakefile and have turned on the DXWM define and rebuilt XV with
the same results.  (This may have helped something else, but I saw no
difference with the above root window problem.)

        Thanks for reading this and I hope someone can shed some light
for me.  I was telling how great XV is for VAX/VMS and Sun OW and tried
to show it off to this local DECstation user and kind of put my foot in
my mouth :(

Howdy:

Hope that some kind soul out there can help me up with the
following error message:

The message pop up in a dialog box and refused to quit untill I 
explicitly killed the process:

> Insertion failed - 
> The memroy buffer is full.
> If this is an isolated case, you can cicumvent

What I was trying to do was:
> strcpy( cLine,"\n[ Xpos, Ypos ]:  Status of tree\n\n" );
> textsw_replace_bytes(DspTabularTxtWnd,0,TEXTSW_INFINITY,cLine,strlen(cLine));

> }
> strcpy( cLine, "\n|****************************|\n");
> textsw_insert( DspTabularTxtWnd, cLine, strlen(cLine) );

what bug me is that the error msg will not appear if the number of 
text displayed ( i.e. numerical value of Len ) is small.

Is there any way I can solve this problem??
Thanks in advance.

Have a good day.

I usually pinch "xvwrgif.c" from "xv", which is available from an
archive near You.
You'll just have to read the image into an array, set up a (default)
palette and call "xvwrgif()".

Call me, if You need more help.

A restoppm filter or something like that would be ideal.
Less ideal but still useful would be some sort of

I would like to know any good books, papers, and algorithms about 
color image processing, particularly color segmentation, leveling, 
thresholding, color to grayscale (bitmap) conversion, and 
color representation (RGB, CMY, etc.) which is less computational
expensive. I highly appreciate any information, recommendation,

utilities available in public domain.....

We are looking for a program to display Sun rasters.  We know about xloadimage

What we would LIKE to have is something that is nice about the color maps -
doesn't install it's own.  

Does anyone know of anything like this?

We have some hacking that we want to do so that we can display multiple
images simultaneously, changing the files dynamically, etc.

manipulators to sort of "re-touch" photographs, alter colors, make color
separations for the printer, etc, etc.  Sort of like a "image" editor

Hello,

I just had a discussion with somebody (I will call him A.)
about the meaning of ANONYMITY.

My definition is that anonimity is the protection of identity agains
inspection. That in the sense that a person has to be called anonym if
his identity can't be obtained. For example, an invasion of anonymity 
has occured if somebody without a need to know, knows your identity
(in a certain context).

A. has a broader meaning of anonimity. He thinks of anonymity as the 
inverse of nonymity, what means (in his opinion) al use of identity.
(thus including false identities, modification of identity).
So, in that opinion, calling on somebody else's account is also a invasion
of anonimity.

I would like to discuss this in the privacy newsgroup. In some fundamental
literature about privacy anonimity is ment as a privacy aspect. And I
think it has also a meaning in "anonymizing personal data" for statistical
purposes.

So, the question: Who has more ideas about this (of course literature 
references are very welcome).

Thanks in advance,

Stefan van Dijk.

Don't kid yourself or anyone else, John.  Unless you have an employment
contract or rules for firings are clearly stated in company personnel policy
documentation, you can be fired at any time, with or without cause, and you
have NO legal recourse.  I know.  It happened to me.  My boss and I got into an
argument over personal computer use at home (he feels that anything I do on the
computer belongs to his company.  Yea, one of those), and he fired me.  Because
it's a small company (35 employees), there is nothing in writing.  So I
checked with my lawyer, and was told that my employer could fire me at any
time, with or without cause.  In fact, my lawyer said that my boss could come
into the office in the morning, tell me I was ugly, and boot me out the door,
and I'd have no legal recourse.  THAT'S the way it is.

Why waste your money?  There is an industry group that all reputable 
direct marketers belong to that maintains a list of people who do not 
wish to receive unsolicited calls and mail and the members agree not to 
solicted idividuals listed.  Cost?  Nothing.  Unfortunately, I dont have 
the adresses handy.  Personnaly, I like receiving junk mail.  I have a 
very large trash can!
