- Thanks for the prompt responses, but let me clarify
- my first question, then ask more:
- Using Deskscan on the PC, I can write any of several
- picture formats, such as Windows BMP, tif, and others.
- Which DOS format will translate (and how) into an AIX
- picture file format? Can I transfer it to the RS6000
- with dosread -a?
-
- Among the suggestions for displaying were xsetroot, xv,
- xview and xloadimage. I think xsetroot is really the one
- I want, but when I used it to try to display an image
- created in MS -Windows BMP it told me *bad bitmap file
- format*.
-
- I could not find xv, xview or xloadimage on my system;
- are these standard aix items that somehow did not get
- installed or is this 3rd party stuff? I have the
- aix installation tape and would be happy to search it
- if someone can tell this novice how to do so.
-
- Thanks in advance ... Rich.
