Here is the error I get: }battle> xwd | xwdtoppm > bitmap.out }xwdtoppm: unknown XWD file version: 117440512 You're not doing anything wrong. The xwd readers and writers have never handled little-endian machines, unfortunately. Since I don't have access to any little-endians running X, it's hard for me to fix them. I don't suppose DEC would like to donate a pmax with a color frame buffer to LBL/RTSG...? (I'm semi serious about this. I'm sure Van Jacobson could use one for his network research.) Anyway, if I do come up with a fix, I will certainly post a (shudder) second patch. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax, apple, hplabs}!well!jef "There is no good or bad substance, only good or bad use." -- Thomas Aquinas Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
