1199.1Actually its note 87.31..........................BOOTIS::BAILEYEight or bust.......Sun Jul 30 1989 14:0918
See note 87.4 in the decwindows examples conf..  (KP7 etc)

See 87.last for a pointer to an RGB_to_DDIF converter

While I'am here I've got DDIF conversions of all the files
(pointed to from 87.4).. but I have'nt the disk space/band-width
to make them generaly available... could some kind soul could offer
them a permanant home (net accessable)...  (56,000 blocks.. 55 files
(including 36 sports illustrated girls!))


Any offers?

Ps..  VANITY""::*.DDIF.. a few 'samples' of converted RGB files

Errr... its been pointed out to me that _all_ of the .DDIF's
pointed to by .-1 are back-to-front... ie when VIEWed you are
looking at the _back_ of a (transparent) picture
.
.
Now for most of them there is no way to tell this (which is why I didn't
know  (I've never seen them 'live')) but SHASTA.DDIF has the Digital
logo in it.. and of course its the wrong way round!!

As soon as I can figure out a Transform aggregate I'll create a new
SHASTA.DDIF .. the right way round (no sense in changing the others..
who's to know!).. I'll provide a corrected converter too

Sorry!

My excuse is that I only found out on Thursday that I'am
going to be a (first time) dad!!.. (and I'am still trying to get
my head straight)
