There are some more new sixels at:
SNDBOX::DUA1:[smith.imagewise.sixel.space.jupiter]
SNDBOX::DUA1:[smith.imagewise.sixel.space.gemini8]
SNDBOX::DUA1:[smith.imagewise.sixel.robocop]
Where, as always, the SVT files are for terminals and the SPR files
are for printers.
Note: Disk space on SNDBOX is getting critical again, so I've
decided to archive the [...star_trek] and [...max_headroom] sixel
files at some time in the near future, very probably before the
end of the month. Please make copies of the files you want to save.
I'll be able to bring them back if there's sufficient demand, via
mail requests to SNDBOX::SMITH... I considered compressing the
files and decided that it left out too many non-VMS machines, and
I couldn't come up with a clear choice for less_popular_sixels,
so the older ones are going first. Unless someone wants to send
me 3 RD-53s [I can't put any more on SNDBOX until we get some more
where we really _need_ them], there isn't going to be room for the
old ones and the new ones too...
Nother Note: The files GEMINI8A.SPR thru GEMINI8I.SPR are
a composite picture that needs to be manually cut and pasted together,
does anyone have a SIXEL editor that could glue them together to
make one file (that might only have to be pasted at page breaks)?
If it would help, I can make up the files without the standard sixel
Run Length Encoding....
Thanks for your interest!
Willie
