- Note for version 3.0: Some of the descriptions in these papers no
- longer reflect reality in their details. The substance is correct,
- but some of the functions and commands have changed their names and/or
- arguments and calling sequences. In particular, the functions named
- 'sv_xxx' are now called 'rle_xxx' (except sv_setup, which changed to
- rle_put_setup, and lost an argument). The 'comp' program, used
- heavily in the 'toolkit' paper is now called 'rlecomp', and the
- command syntax has changed slightly. The arguments to the 'fant'
- program have changed, too. See the man pages.

-
- This is the non-man-page documentation for the Raster Toolkit. They are
- formatted with the Scribe document processing system (tm Unilogic, Inc.).
-
- In the likely event that you don't have Scribe running on your system,
- two forms of scribe output are provided. The ".ps" files contain PostScript
- descriptions, for devices like the Apple LaserWriter. The ".doc" files
- are vanilla text output, without the PostScript figures.
-
- The files are:
-
- rle.mss - "The Design of the Utah RLE Format"
- rle.doc - Text version of the above
- rle.ps - PostScript version of the above (figures included).
- rle_head.ps - PostScript figures used in the above paper.
- rleops.ps
-
- toolkit.mss - "The Utah Raster Toolkit" Read comments at the top for
- hints on Scribing it.
- toolkit.bib - Bibliography for the above
- toolkit.doc - Text version
- toolkit.ps - PostScript version, without the figures.
- pics/ - PostScript versions of the images used in the paper.
-
- Because the toolkit paper takes a long time (> 30 min) to print if the
- figures are included, they are left out of the .ps file. They can be
- printed individually by doing something like:
-
- echo showpage | cat pics/dart_shadow_and_monkey.ps - | lpr -Plw
-
