I had the older version of pbm and got real excited when I saw that the new version support the TIFF format. My problem. We would like to use our AppleScanner to create images on the sun. Just scan the image in, output to a tiff file, port the the sun and run tifftopbm on the file right? Nope. tifftopbm dumps core when reading in the tiff file. *sniff* I uploaded the file using ftp with 'binary' on. (Not macbinary) I also tried and ascii upload but that didn't work either. Has anyone gotton a tiff (or pict for that matter) file from the mac to a sunraster? How did you do it? Thanks for any help in advance. -- "If a tree falls in the forest, will another one grow in its place?" Scott Paisley paisley@cme.nbs.gov ..!uunet!cme-durer!paisley
