...which is why I've asked on a couple other newsgroups before about the
file specs for the 24 bit RGB format.  I would also like the filespecs 
for Dynamic Hires.

If I can get ahold of these, I could probably write a conversion program 
for at least 24-bit to DynaHires and maybe a few others.  This PD utility
_needs_ to exists, since Digi View is proprietary, and you have to buy
their digitizing hardware with it.  (I have no need for a digitizer!)
