Basically correct. Technically, RenderMan is nothing more than a
specification, "a scene description methodology". What is desireable
is for current and future 3D applications to produce RenderMan compliant
scene descriptions and for there to exist rendering engines that accept
these descriptions. The aforementioned rendering engines may or may not
be part of the originating application and may have hardware assistance
or even run on another (presumeably faster) platform. A simple port of
PhotoRealistic RenderMan as it exists on the Mac would be both dissapointing
and insufficient for the total solution.

Get DynaMate.  It displays any size dynamic hires pic, and allows you to
scroll around within it if it's bigger than the display in either axis.

Wasp will convert to Dynamic Hi-res, but usually I've found that some
nasty bands appear in the converted image.  My own personal recommendation
is to go with a program called HamLabPlus, which can convert to and from
a lot of different formats and can perform dithering.  I personally like
to save images in PCHG format (which is similar to Dynamic Hi-res in
concept, but generally results in less banding).  I then use Mostra 1.07
to view the PCHG image.  The results are usually nothing less than 
spectacular, especially when combined with Floyd-Steinberg (or some
other) dithering techniques.

You should be able to obtain both the HamLabPlus demo version (it's about
$20 shareware) and Mostra 1.07 from wuarchive.wustl.edu.

There are some things going on in PC/AT video that most people don't realize,
even when they see it.

Go to a hospital and get a CAT scan, and then go look at the results.  The
viewing equipment is usually a 386 or 486 PC with a $2000-4000 1280x1024
video card.  These systems can show a realtime video of your skull as it
is rotated through 360 degrees.  These videos can be made up of the info
from thousands of xrays that were taken by the CAT scan.  It is not jerky
at all, and is as smooth as a movie.  Since the PC is normally mounted in
a fairly anonymous cabinet, and the monitor is located on a console, it
isn't obvious that there's "Intel Inside".

These boards are starting to drop in price.  Some of these boards have 16 megs
of memory, but memory prices are dropping.  And the price of processor chips
is dropping.

A flight simulator running on one of these boards would be great.

Assuming that you have the latest versions of our software, you might try
loading that image in again and editing the palette. In many PCX files,
all of the color registers are black - it seems some PC programs simply
assume a palette is a certain way.

ASDG's TruePrint/24 does exactly this. Images with 24 bit-planes

24 bit-plane entities.

 MEMF_Swappable :-) Good idea. Anybody willing to patch exec ? :)
 Well, MEMF_PUBLIC was designed to alloc memory in any free space of the
 RAM, i don't think it was intended to allocate it to make it accessable
 for all tasks. I don't think you break any rule. Anyway you actually
 have provided the way to have access to your memeory, other image processing

I had the same problem (although in the other direction, iff24 ->ppm),
and was pointed to wuarchive.wustl.edu, /systems/amiga/video/utils/converters,
the file is ppm.lzh. It contains two converters, 24toppm and ppmto24,
which were written by Albert Brouwer (sp?). Unfortunately, they still
didn't really do what I wanted - I had a quite colorful IFF24 picture of
a landscape, converted it to ppm, but a check with ppmquant gave me just
about 120 colors - by far too few. Seems like there is still a demand
for such programs, best would be WITH source for Un*x systems. :-)
(PS: I tried to contact Albert, but never got an answer - Albert, are you

Is ADPro already capable of reading/writing PPM ? The last time I saw it
it couldn't do so (which I think is a major lack, PPM is such a nice and
simple format..). If not yet available, these might be written soon - I
read in a german Amiga mag that the specs about loaders/savers etc. are
released now for programmers wishing to write new modules for ADPro.

Frank

Specifically, how would you like this implemented?  Would a program or

be ok?  If it were to require, say, another image processing/paint program
like ADPro, Imagemaster, or Mirage, what do you believe a reasonable price
if any to be acceptable?  Or, are you looking more along the lines of
something like Interchange, except for 2d structured drawings?

I don't want a HAM file, but wish to preserve the full
