Summary: Need a Sun Raster to GIF translator. Keywords: Sun Raster, GIF, translation Message-ID: Date: 17 Sep 90 06:06:04 GMT Sender: news@diemen.utas.edu.au Distribution: comp Lines: 28 G'day. I need some help translating from Sun RASTER format to GIF format for downloading to PCs and viewing. I'm sure that this has probably been advertised many a time in the past so I apologise for bringing it up again, but as is usual people only take notice of what they need at the time... Anyway, can somebody point me to a Raster -> GIF converter? How does it handle the difference in resolution, please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Sun is 1024 x 1024 (SPARC 4/60) whereas VGA on the PC is 640 x 480. Does it take the 640 x 480 pixels from the centre of the screen, the top left, or does it appoximate the whole Sun screen into a GIF image? I hope there is a translator to answer my request. AdvThanksance. -Julian. P.S. Please reply to dermoudy@sol.surv.utas.edu.au *not* sol.surv.utas.oz.
