       Actually, this article is only remotely assiociated with GIF sites.
       We have quite a collection of rasterfiles of all sizes here at
       geomag.  You can use the fbm package by Michael Mauldin to convert
       from Sun rasterfiles to GIF files.  The main reason why I have  
       chosen to keep them as rasterfiles, rather than convert them
       to GIF is that on the Sun the rasterfile viewers are neater.
       In any case.  anonymous ftp to geomag.gly.fsu.edu (128.186.10.2)
       cd to pub/pics and download any pics you want.  In the future, once
       I get the latest fbm package, I will post it there as well.  We
       have a good collection of files ray-traced on the eta-10g with
       QRT by Steve Koren.  The longest time taken (for blue.rst.Z) was
       1 1/2 hrs.  The small ones (640x400) went in usually under 15 minutes.
       In any case, they are quite interesting.
