Ah, but you're missing some of the point, surely; if you're going to do it
electronically, forget "issues"; just let it mutate - old articles out,
new ones in. Expiry like netnews but done selectively. The editor could
even keep track of which articles had been read, and people could give
instant feedback... 

All you need (on unix + X, anyway) is a small core program which invokes 
others to display for it, and, hey, wow...

Oh, speaking of which, there is someone at U of MD who has 
neon lights (or probably fake neon UV-based colored light bars)
mounted underneath his car around the edges, so you get this wierd

There's a program called "Plasma" which I like.  Also, if you get the
"Fractint" fractal generator, it has a feature for cycling through the
colour palette, which is quite neat.

You can get these programs from ftp.usask.ca in the files

  /pub/archives/msdos/graphics/frai1611.zoo (The program)
                           .../fras1611.zoo (The source)
  /pub/archives/msdos/games/plasma.zip      (The plasma program)

I also have OS/2 and Windows versions of Fracint in
  /pub/archives/os2/graphics/pmfrac30.zoo
  /pub/archives/windows/graphics/winfract.zoo

What they forgot to say is that you need to put :
-L/usr/include/X11 -L/usr/lib/X11

in that command somewhere.  Now, if your .h files for X11 are located 
somewhere else, then you need to put the path of where those are located.
The same goes for the .a library files.  You need to find out where those
two and fix the two paths accordingly.  That should set you up.

You, or anyone else, will have a difficult time porting TIFFLIB to DOS.
Every operation that could cross a 64k segment boundary will break.
And there are many. There is also the problem that 386 ints are
short. Another common problem. Blech!

I don't think you've been exposed to all 386 C compilers.  
The Intel 386/486 CodeBuilder compiler uses 32 bits for 'int'.

The rainbowing described above is do to the fact that the server is only
providing a single colormap that gets changed depending on window focus.
A server that supports multiple colormaps will allow you to have several
256 color windows displaying simultaneously without color interference.
Also, one might wonder why anyone would want to limit themselves to an
8bit window on a 24bit server....the reason is speed. Some servers,
such as Concurrent's have a 4:1 speed advantage moving 8bit pixels on a
24bit visual. And ofcourse many clients just plain don't like 24bit
visuals.

Get the source to ppmquant in the pbmplus package.  It shows how to do a
simple remap and floyd-steinberg.  It also shows how to choose colors based
on average pixels or average colors (I don't really understand this part).
And it shows how to use luminance instead of pure color in the histogram.
Luminance works much better than pure color.  I learned alot from this
program.

How witty!  As I said, I don't have a high enough version of zoo
on my workstation to extract pbmplus.zoo, so when I looked at the
directory of the archive, I couldn't believe everything was there.
I have not built pbmplus since this "merge" option came out.
Yes, I know how it works on a unix box.  I have sb linked to sz, etc.

A long time ago, someone sent me mail saying he had found pbmplus.zoo
and it didn't appear to contain much.  So my thinking was affected by
this.

Finally, thanks to whomever compiled pbmplus for using a non-DPMI compiler.   
I cannot run the stupid thing under windows or os/2 (and maybe not even 
under QEMM, if it doesn't support VCPI either).  I think in the future,
all ports of 32-bit software to dos should use DPMI compliant dos extenders 
so we can run these mondo mega tasks in the background and get work 
done in the foreground using windows or os/2.

It also depends on the X11 window manager that you are using. For example,
on the Sun, olwm did not support 24 bit root windows until olwm 3.0 and then
you must call the server with options.

(ex. "openwin -dev /dev/cgtwelve0 defdepth 24" gives me a TrueColor visual as 
my root window.)

You should remember that the root window is just a special case of any window
on an X11 display. Therefore you must decide which visual class you want the 
root window to be before creation. Most color X terminals and workstations can
only display 256 colors of a palette 16 Million colors (24bit).

For more information about color and visual classes in X11, read chapter 7 of
volume one of the X Window System (Xlib Programming Manual) by O'Reilly and Assoc.

Has anyone out there compiled XV on a SCO box?  Has anyone tried
to do this?  I spent a couple of hours trying and couldn't compile
the jpeg and tiff format readers which is the best part of the
program.  Any input is helpful.

 24 bit will display 16,777,216 colors at once. What you have mistakenly
described above is 8 bit (256 colors out of a palette of 256K colors).
