The Computation Center is in the process of upgrading our slide camera equipment and our services to our slide camera clients. The new JetStream no longer requires the use of the mslides program to select and print the slides.
Users can now submit the slides directly using the standard lpr command.
The JetStream software forces us to do a 180 degree switch in the bitmapped image support we provide. Compressed TIFFs are also supported and may significantly decrease the size of the file. Tests on the JetStream indicate this file format is well supported. Both the IBM PC and Macintosh formats are supported as well as LZW Compression. We are also working to provide a set of custom drivers that will allow Windows users to create clean Postscript which doesn't have to be passed through the win95fixps program.
