1302.0. "Color DECW$PAINT or equivalent ?" by EMILE::TREGER (Treger Rabbit) Fri Aug 18 1989 08:29

Hi,

I just converted many GIF (Macintosh) files to DDIF yesterday but the only I can
do is looking at them using DECimage in View or Interactive mode.

I tried to load them using DECW$PAINT and it tells that only bitonal images are
allowed.

Do anyone know about a "simple to install" (since I've no privilege) product or
hacking stuff allowing me to manipulate those images ?

I've already seen RAGS that needs a standard VMSINSTAL phase but I'd prefer
something that I can "$ RUN" only, if possible.

Thxs for help,

Olivier

1302.1Getting RAGS without using INSTALCLOSET::EROSSMon Aug 21 1989 11:0318
    You can get RAGS by hand by copying the following files to some dir.
    
    	BUPKIS::dua0:[eross.rags.pub.files]ge*.dat
    	BUPKIS::dua0:[eross.rags.pub.files]rags.exe
    
    Note: if you want to run it while in some other directory, other than
    where you've copied the stuff, define the following logical so
    RAGS can find its support files
    
    	define rags$support_dir full_path_to_dir_containing_ge*.dat_files
    
    Though, if PAINT couldn't read in the DDIF images, RAGS probably
    won't be able to either.  Might be worth a try though.
