- Dave,
- Here goes:
- Installation Instructions for the Chapel Hill Volume Rendering Test Dataset,
- Volume I
-
- The Chapel Hill Volume Rendering Test Dataset, Volume I is available in two
- different formats. The files on the tape were written from a DEC
- VAX computer using either the UNIX file copy command ``dd'' or the
- UNIX ``tar'' command. Each file is separated by a tape mark and there
- are two tape marks at the end. Total block size is 8192 bytes written
- at 1600 bpi. You should find the following files on the tape:
-
- Announcement
- Installation Instructions, CH01 (This document).
- Head data
- Head data information article
- Knee data
- Knee data information article
- HIPIP data
- HIPIP information article
- SOD data
- SOD histogram
- SOD information article
-
- These are the instructions you should use to install your tape, depending
- on what type of format you've received.
-
- Using the ``dd'' command: Users of systems other than VAXes will
- probably have to reverse the bytes of the binary files. Users of UNIX
- systems can read the files with dd if =/dev/nrmt0 of=disk_file_name ibs=8k
- [conv=swap] dev/nrmt0 being the no-rewind device on the machine. The
- optional last field will cause automatic byte swapping.
-
- Using the ``tar'' command: Users of UNIX systems can read the files
- with tar xvf /dev/nrmt0 with /dev/nrmt0 being the no-rewind device on
- on the machine.
-
- To read over the tape marks: Use mt -f /dev/nrmt0 fsf 1.
-
- We do not object to your further distributing these datasets, but we
- request that full acknowledgement of the source of the data accompany
- such distribution. If you're going to send a dataset to somebody, please
- also send the accompanying information file.
-
- We ask that you report any problems or enhancements to the following
