Hi there, Pixeloids,
I do have this particular problem:
I compiled DKBTrace on a local HP UX machine here, and it works just
fine. It runs fast, and did not dump any core so far. Now I want to display
the images I rendered on an Apollo 8 plane node. I ftp'ed fbm1.0, compiled
everything, and started my attempts in converting.
The manual of DKBTrace says: It will output files compatible to the
QRT data files... and fbm is supposed to be supporting this.
Now I first have to convert my raw data file into a .fbm file, which
still worked. Now, the .fbm file has to be converted into a 'mapped'
file (i suppose that means no true color information, but color info by
using tables pointing at colors). For this, I use fbquant.. but it crashed,
saying 'Segmentation fault'. Any clues ? Thanx to everyone who can
help, and an even bigger thanx to the authors of DKBTrace ! I love it ! :)
(Besides, sometimes the converter (and my showgif) got confused saying
the pictures were MacPaint files (which they certainly were NOT) )

So long,
Frank
