I found a problem with UTOX, and the BOOKREADER in how it handles images. We received images created by a third party on MAG-TAPE. I copied the images from the tape, and included them into a book build. The displayed images looked like a TV set with the HORIZONTAL hold screwed up, and the offset appeard to be 8 pixels per line (1 byte). I then used the FSE image utilites to convert it to itself again. E.G. IMAGE/COMMAND myfile.bin/bin myfile.bin/bin and then the file worked fine. The only difference in the files was the carriage control attribute. In the bad case it was carriage return. In the good case the attributes are specified as NONE. Does anyone know how to COPY from MAGtape to Files-11 without the default carriage control? Alternately you can fix the method you use to read iamge files, but some basic help in COPY would be much easier. THANKS TOM

That's not a problem with UTOX or the bookreader. The non-CR carriage control attribute is part of the definition of the FSE format. To change the carriage control attributes, the CONVERT utility may be able to help. CONVERT is a standard VMS utility. I don't think there's anything COPY can do to change the attributes. Just curious, how is a third party able to generate FSEs? -Mike | |||||
