I agree.  A mix of really weird techno-type stuff and classical music would
be perfect for the Neuromancer score.  Gibsons seems to be very interested
in the strange, classical, and romantic elements that still underpin our
society.  The clash between these old traditions and the technology of the
future is, to me, one of Gibson's major themes.

Personally, I am tired of the Vangellis (sp?) school of science-fiction
music.  If you want to really turn non-sci-fi people off, play some
Vangellis at the start of a movie.  It is too cheesy synthesizer, reminding
one of movies like Flash Gordon.

Gibson, to use one his own terms, has more "edge" than Vangellis type stuff
can convey.  I think some just plain nasty Ministry, and some weird
house-type 1000 beats-per-minute type stuff would be great.  Throw some
classical in, and you have a great mix for a movie that does not exist :) .

I think maybe the reason we have more violence than sex here is simple: 
The sex won't pass whatever standards committees there are, so they
throw in violence instead, to attract attention.  In Europe, I guess
they just don't have such a stigma attached to sex (topless beaches,
etc, anyone?), so they're okay to use it on TV, and therefore have no
need to use any other cheap marketting ploy (i.e. violence).

Quick point.  
The translator is quite correct.  The Hebrew says murder.
There is a different word w/ different connotations for
killing.  There are cases where the bible finds killing
acceptable (ie to defend your own life from an attacker.)

This is not quibbling over wording.  This is an important
moral point.  Thou shalt not MURDER.

I often wonder how issues surrounding value systems could be

I am trying to display an X-window screen dump on a color Mac.
I had gone through the following steps:

- xwdtopnm			/* convert xwd format to ppm format */

- ppmtopict  /* convert ppm format to Mac PICT format */

- mcvert -dDqv filename  /* translate the file to MacBinary format.

- transfer the file to Mac using ftp command (binary mode)

- using ResEdit change the file format to PICT 

However, the file is opened as a blank picture by MacdrawII or
 Canvas3.04.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong or How I can display a
X-window screen dump on a color Mac?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 I want to colorize grayscale image to color image. Its a typical satellite
 image with 8 bit ( max 256 gray levels).

 I think I need some colormap to color the image.     

 I want to use PBMPLUS's pgmtoppm utility. 

     pgmtoppm -map mapfile [pgmfile]
     -------------------------------

     where the -map flag lets you specify an entire  colormap  to
     be  used.   The  mapfile  is  just a ppm file; it can be any
     shape, all that matters is the colors in it and their order.
     In  this case, black gets mapped into the first color in the
     map file, and white gets mapped to the last.

     But I haven't seen any of this kind of colormap file. So I
     want ppm colormap file to colorize my image.

     Can anyone who have done similar kind of colorizing the grayscale 
     image help me.

     Thanks

Hello,

I post this article in order to get some help.

I dowloaded "viewer-nntp.tar.Z" from a ftp anonymous server. "viewer"
is a very smart multiformat picture viewer that runs under X-Window.
The problem is the following: I do not know how to install this
software in my home directory. I can just expand it by the "uncompress
command". The remaining of the process in unclear in my mind. Since I
am not very much in touch with sophiosticated Unix commands, I shall
need some help. Could anybody help me?  Thank you very much for your
attention. Enclosed you will find the installation notes of "viewer"
READ-ME file (I typed ?? in front of the point I do not understand).
I seems I must create a Makefile with emacs: what shall I write in??
My working configuration is the following: Sun 4/670 running SunOS and
release X11R4 of X Window. (I usaually run emacs as a text editor).

INSTALLATION ------------
	mkdir viewer
	cd viewer
	uncompress < ../viewer.tar.Z | tar xvf -
??	emacs Makefile
??	emacs config.h
??	make
??	make install
??	setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
??	rehash
??	viewer
??	if($status == "0") then
	    echo "Good job." | mail battle@cs.utk.edu
	else
	    echo "You twit." | mail battle@cs.utk.edu
	endif

Uncompress and extract viewer.tar.Z in an empty directory.  Change
INSTALLDIR in the Makefile to be what you want.  You may also want to
change the default directory and possibly other parameters in
config.h.  Make sure you have xloadimage installed, if not, get it
from export.lcs.mit.edu and install it.  Then just type "make
install".  Make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set, and
that you have done a "rehash" since installation and type "viewer".


Thanks for your attention.
Sincerely,

I looked at the README file for viewer and I don't think it is a viewer.  It will
put the pieces of a USENET image together and run a viewer, xloadimage by default.

I think it means to edit the Makefile and config.h and make change for your system.
If you just want to view images then get something like xloadimage, which your
"viewer" uses by default so you'll have to get it any way.  It is available
by anonymous ftp at export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib and mirror sites.

Sounds to me like you need VoxelView from a company called Vital Images.
There stuff is rather expensive but very good as far as I can tell.

    Is there a program like hdf8toppm or hdf24toppm that will convert a 
 HDF 8-bit or 24-bit (NCSC format) into a ppm format? I have PBMplus
 running on a VAX/VMS and I need a to create a GIF file from some HDF
 files.
