| I DON'T, but I was wondering where you were going to use a color
postscript file. ProPage will take in an iff,and output a color
postscript file if thats all you want.

| Hi,
re -.1
What I have is a couple of IFF format pictures on the VAX I want to dump
out. I have heard of a utility call CSIX but canna find it... Anyone know where it is?
cheers dave

| 4729.3 | I've got it. | CRISPY::AYRESR | Victim of Murphys law | Thu May 09 1991 11:45 | 10 |
| Dave,
I've got a copy of CSIX with documentation, it works pretty well.
If somebody will tell me how, I'll copy it over to TAPE:: (I got an
"insufficient privelege" warning when I just tried). Either that or
I'll make it publically available from my account for a while ( again -
if somebody will tell me how!).
cheers,
Russell.

| CSIX should be in Crista::amiga: . I know we use it all the time. It
has nothing to do with postscript. I takes a IFF file and converts it
to a sixel file for printing on an LJ252,or even better an LCG03 .

| Russell,
Is this the same Russell as VMS U&C at highfield last October?????
Anyway, to make the file available simplymake sure that it is w:r and g:r
Give the full file spec in the form node::device:[dir]file!
mail me on COMICS::HOGGAN if any problems!
cheers dave

| 4729.6 | Where? | KAHUNA::SUMNER | | Thu May 09 1991 13:31 | 6 |
|
Is CSIX a IFF to SIXEL file convertor to where you can display the file
on a VT340? Is this program in TAPE:: somewhere?

| Csix defaults to producing output that is VT340 viewable.
A -pLJ250 is suggested to adjust it for better printing on a LJ250
printer.
I had good luck with Perfect Vision digitized 320x200x16 greyscale
IFF pics. It also handles HAM mode, but the LJ250 does better with
those than a 16 color VT340 terminal since it offers more colors.

CSIX.EXE and CSIX.DOC are available on...
DUCK::DISK$SCRATCH:[DECNETXFR]
If you need a postscript file, you can use SIXTOPS. I'll try and dig
out my copy of SIXTOPS.

| 4729.12 | CLAZ works .... sometimes | FRSOLD::ZIMMERMANN | | Sat May 25 1991 16:29 | 8 |
| re: .10
yes CLAZ is the VMS IFF to PS - converter, but it works for me only
on some pics (2 out of 10). The others are crashing CLAZ with error-
messages like "plane error" and others i can't remember.

| 4729.13 | Might still work! | BAHTAT::BAHTAT::HILTON | How's it going royal ugly dudes? | Tue May 28 1991 08:45 | 5 |
| When CLAZ crashes on me, it still seems to have done the conversion, if
a CTRL-C it!.

| 4729.14 | Sort of working, but..... | KERNEL::HOGGAND | | Tue May 28 1991 09:19 | 8 |
| Hi,
Trying to use CLAZ on, say, the Chaos Strikes Back maps, the pictures
convert but all colour info seems to be missing????? Has anyone had the
same kind of problem. I tried another IFF picture with similar results.
cheers dave.

| I originally used claz as a starting point when I wrote CSIX. Claz has
a problem with the sixth bitplane which some programs like DPaint sometimes
add to bitmaps even when you are not in HAM mode. It's been quite a while
but I believe the IFF spec allows this as a "mask" plane. However claz
doesn't use the real IFF parsing code and doesn't account for the presence
of this bit plane.
I think there is a SIXTOPS floating around. You could use CSIX and then
SIXTOPS maybe...
