It can only handle WP51 bitmap, so I don't think you can do

I haven't fully researched the problem yet, but the errorcode is a 
"device not a tty" error. I commented the offending error check out
of the libpbm1.c code - it works fine then. I'll track down & send a bug
report in as soon as I find the bug (unless someone else beats me to it ;^)

I've just started playing around with the mtv raytracer and
am trying to animate some of the sequences I've produced.

At the moment I converting the PPM images to gifs (or pcx)
and viewing them with xviewgl a .gl viewer. The problem is that
that ppmtogif seems to create different colour maps for each file,
EVEN AFTER a ppmquantall has been run to give the ppm's common
colour maps.

Since the 'fly' command requires a common map the animation produced
looks silly.

Is there someway to fix this? 

  - Different converter?
  - Different animator?


Thanks.

Alchemy supports WPG files, but only as raster images - Vector
information is lost.  I don't see anything about DWG support, but if
those are vector files, I doubt Alchemy will support them.

It sounds like you need HiJaak, which specializes in (among other
things) vector-to-raster and raster-to-vector conversions.  It is
commercialware, from Inset Systems.  (203) 740-2400

Well, I favor CompuShow, so for example, I change directory to where I have
a few GIF's, and type CSHOW.  Up pops CompuShow, and there's a highlight bar.
I highlight the GIF I wanna view, and hit the Enter key.  I get some options,
which I ignore.  Instead, I hit the space bar (for the default options).  Up
pops a picture.  ESC quits.  Very nice software, and if you don't want to
clog the net, the CompuShow viewer and others like it are available from a 
public access dial-up BBS in your area.  Call the Buffalo IBM-PC User Group

I read about a month ago in the Chronicle of Higher Education

The suit apeared to be over Rutgers posting student's social security
numbers.  Rutgers seemed to have lost the case, but the information
supplied was quite sketchy.

Can anyone give a summary of this case, or supply the text, or refer me
to where I might obtain a summary of the case?  Specifically, what
use of SS#'s was outlawed?

I was watching an interesting program on TV last night. It had to do with the
human genome project. Simply put, it is a gigantic effort to map out the
detailed structure of DNA. Eventually there may be a way to screen DNA for
specific suceptability to certain diseases. It also implies an ability to
change the DNA in sperm or ova to obtain specific results. The show touched
very briefly on the privacy aspects of all this, but I would be interested 
in hearing the opinions of net.others on this. Personally I think what is in my

The first three digits of a person's Social Security Number indicate

The fourth and fifth digits indicate the group number.  The sequence is
reported to be odd numbers from 01-09, then even numbers from 10-98, then
even numbers 02-08, and finally odd numbers 11-99.  All numbers issued
before 1965 are either odd numbers between 01 and 09, or even numbers 
between 10 and 98.  The last four digits are the "serial number," and run

Over here we have a "Phone book" type thiny called a UBD which lists all the
phone numbers for that particulair city in numerical order followed by a four
character code.  The four character code is the first four letters of the
listing in the white pages.  You then go to the white pages and start where
those four characters are and scan down sequentially (SP?) until the number you
are looking for matches.  You then have the name/address you need.  Sounds
complex but it's reasonably fast.

I thought this might be of interest to members of this
newsgroup:

There is now on Bitnet a list for the discussion of the '92
presidential campaign. Discussion is unmoderated and focusses
primarily on important, current campaign issues, though, like the
campaign itself, some discussion occasionally degrades to
spurious non-issues. Threads sometimes lead into critical
analyses of political history, the media, and campaign
strategies. Many members of this list post exerpts from books,
magazines, journals, newspapers, television reportage, and
academic studies as well as the full text of position papers and
speeches given by the candidates. A meaningful number of list
members understand the inherent union of theory and praxis and,
given the nature of the discussions, the flame level is very
tolerably and surprisingly low. If all you've heard and read thus
far hasn't parted the sea of sound bites, if you're looking for
information and analysis of current issues or have something to
give or express yourself, this may be a viable group to join.

sIf you send a message hidden in a gif file, say every 100th pixel is part of
the code, who is going to know whether they are just bad bits or really part
of the picture?

I think if all this goes through, encryption will become the big thing and 
people will come up with methods that the experts will be amazed at.

Another issue, if the government can monitor all phone conversations won't
that mean that attorney-client conversations on the phone can no longer
be considered confidential, the fact that the call can be monitored, 
(without a warrant, albeit illegally) will make it very easy to overturn
arrests and court verdicts, on the simple basis that the government can't
prove they did not illegally monitor the calls.

Every anonomous tip could be labled as an illegally intercepted phone call.

If the FBI's new system had been in place at the time of the Watergate 
break-in
would there ever have been a pulbic disclosure?  Wouldn't Nixon have retired
from office as our revered national leader?

I think this plan to give the government the ability to listen to everyone's
conversations is a disaster.  If the FBI can't enforce the law without
violating the constitution and our rights to privacy they must be 
incredibly stupid.  From their history they seem to have been doing ok, maybe
they are just a front for someone else in this.

Can anyone doubt that once a system like this is in place there will be
terrible abuses of it?  Will any member of congress use a public phone, will
the President every again talk to anyone on the phone.  And once such a system
is in place, every foreign intellegence angecy will be trying to penetrate it.
And of course, with everyone in the countryknowing that their most intimate
and private conversations could be recorded at any time, people will no longer
say anything confidential on the phone.  Doctors and patients will ahve to 
communicte in person, code words will become the norm, and the US mail will
be used by allthose who want privacy (including the mafia.)

Do you have a reference for this one?  My understanding of the ECPA
and simmilar stuff is that it's legal to listen to *cordless* phones
without a warrant, but not cellular phones.  If, e.g., your neighbor
listens in on your cordless conversations and turns you in, you lose,
but they're not supposed to do that with cellular.  

(Though, given the government's attitude these days, the fact that
cordless conversations are protected means that if you bought a
cellular phone, it's *obviously* because you wanted to hide your
conversations, so justifying a warrant shouldn't be tough, but
obviously I'm just getting paranoid as a side-effect of this Drug War :-))
