Hi,

I got a real screwed up message from the above person (what I could make
out from the memo anyway!).

This is what I found out from messing around with these programs:

FBM
---

All of it compiled fine on a AT&T 3B1 class UNIX machine.  I have not
tried to compile them on an Amiga or a IBM PC.  This is because I have a
lot of disk space available on the 3B15.  The *.tar.Z files contain only
sources.  To get the files you need to uncompress fbm.tar.Z and then do
a tar -xf fbm.tar.  The FBM package did not work too successfully and I
dumped it.

PBM
---

I just got this around 11:00 pm last night and again everything compiled
alright.  Actually I had to delete a few lines in almost all of the file
since it kept thinking it was sysV machine.  Anyway I'm trying at
present to convert from a scanned TIFF to IFF.  I will let you know how
and if it does come out.

I have not used TBM!

Will be getting back to ya'
Bin
