For anyone getting the Neptune pictures via FTP from Stanford per the posting
in sci.astro, please note the pictures ARE directly viewable on the Amiga using
DigiView 3.0.  What you do is bring up DV in hi-res, then click on the vertical
selection until it shows 480.

The pictures are 640x480x8; each frame is 307,200 bytes uncompressed.

If you aren't already aware of how to get the pictures, the FTP IP address
is 36.51.0.8, alias mazama.stanford.edu.  See the enclosed for more details.

The pictures are NO LONGER ON HANAUMA due to the severe FTP overload; they've
all been moved to MAZAMA for the time being.
