I don't have the latest zoo on my unix box so I couldn't extract the docs
and look at them.  All I could do was look at the directory of the
archive.  I could not believe that you could have all of pbmplus in
less than 400K of executables.  Pbmplus takes up several megabytes
on my risc box.  I forgot how much smaller the 80x86 executables
are.

But he's going to a bitmapped representation ANYWAY, so why is this conversion
bad? He needs to read it into a PICT/TIFF/GIF format. 

I've used Photoshop with no problem for a variety of EPS conversions for well

It compiled and linked fine on my DECstation 5000, but doesn't run.
Specifically, I grabbed the two most recent .dl files off 
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica (primopia.dl and shelikes.dl) and
both of them choke it:

  X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  62 (X_CopyArea)

The line

	XCopyArea(x_display, pixmap[cmd[i]], x_window,

is causing this, the first time it's hit, because cmd[2] is a number
up in the thousands. Yes, a DECstation is little-endian, unlike your
Sun. However, a hex printout of cmd[] didn't show lots of zero
low bytes, so it's not a simple byte swap. 

Oh, if anyone's recoding ... the program doesn't allow Xish arguments
[e.g. -display] on the command line.

No you misunderstand - I want a tool that can DISPLAY the true colour images,
given that they are in some format which I presume I can reach via pbmplus,
in such a way that I can manipulate the balances interactively. E.g. it might
have sliders which would adjust the red/green and blue/green balances, contrast/intensity, etc.

I just want some advice on what is the best program for this,

Thanks anyway,

Karl.

First of all, what kind of platform are you running on (HP, DEC, Sun, IBM,
etc.), and what is the revision of the OS?

Thaat aside, what is missing is the inclusion of an option to tell the loader
to search the X11 library, which is where these calls are located. Depending
on the system, they can be in a variety of places.

On an HP system, you would compile as follows:

/bin/cc -I/usr/include/X11R4 -L/usr/lib/X11R4 -o xdl xdl.c -lX11

and you would get a working binary -- that is, after you fix the problem
with the usleep() system call, which doesn't exist on the HP platform.

I have made this fix in the source, and will be posting a revised source,
with makefile, for HP platforms here later today.

 This is only true of 8 bit servers. Some of us are running 24 bit
servers (X11 or NeWS, take your pick). Better 24 bit frame buffers will
come with their own servers. I am using a VITec RasterFlex-HR in my
SPARC 2 now, running a 24 bit NeWS (NeWS is essentially X11 with extras
such as display postscript built into the server, this is Sun's OpenWindows)
server that came with the card.

 One neat thing with 24 bitplane displays, even at 1280x1024 there are
only 1,310,720 pixels so a lot can be done without resorting to changing
the colormap when moving the pointer from window to window.

 Xv wil quantize down to 8 bits on any server. Xloadimage doesn't have
this problem, and can load images onto the root.

>Saying 386 C compilers is not specific enough. 

If somebody says "386 C compiler", chances are they mean a compiler
to generate 386 specific code that runs under MS-DOS, as, of 
course, MS-DOS is the dominant OS for the 386. 

When they mean that, it implies that ints **are** indeed, 32 bit,
as that is the size of the registers and all native integer arithmetic on a 
386 in native mode.

Such compilers have been available for years from, among others,
Lahey, Microway, Watcom, and Zortech. I believe that Borland now also has 
one, and, of course, there is the free Gnu compiler (for MSDOS).

As Mr. Malik points out, OS/2 2.0 compilers are also 32 bit 386 compilers,
but at the moment they are rare beasts.

Back to the original subject, Tiff-2.4, it runs fine under my MicroWay
compiler, modulo just plain intentional non-portabilities in the
original code, which were trivial to fix.

         PPMTOGIF.EXE  you just rename/copy PPMMERGE.EXE to PPMTOGIF.EXE

I repeat. Every 386 compiler that I know of has the size of an int as 32 bits.
Do you actually know of any 386 compiler that generates 16 bit ints?

Summary: cleaning up 24 bit TGA files

I have a SNAPplus 15/16/24 bit video capture / genlock card (IBM/AT) and am
having trouble with several things:

They want $199 for the "Software Developer's Kit", without which it is very
difficult to  do full-frame genlock, or anything not supported by...

	The bundled software "SNAPplus" is windows only, has Win3.1 drivers,
but is very difficult to use effectively- the manual sucks, I have trouble
getting the video output to appear as a full screen, etc.

I notice that when I grab a full-frame image (very simple) in 15/16/24 bit, it
appears a bit "gray"  when re-displayed, I can adjust RGB and contrast, etc in
the capture software, is there any software that will let me adjust these
values on the 24-bit TGA or BMP file?

	I grabbed an opening credit screen from a movie, and the results were:

	When I down-convert the file to a 256 color gif, I notice that the
black area surrounding the text/graphics is made up of many shades of
blue/black, is there an easy way to make it more uniformly "black"?

	In 8-bit and (less noticeably) in 24-bit files, the text/image in the
picture is surrounded by a "bloom" or "fringe" of color, can this be
reduced by adjusting the image before capture, or by manipulating the
saved image?

Does someone out there have information on the format of colorhcbs data?
