- Apologies to those of you who have seen this before ; I originally sent this
- question to the ximage list, and the response was almost total silence. Alan
- Mazer at JPL pointed me at Joseph Mauro at Digital, Merrimack, as the author of
- a document proposing an image extension written some four years ago, but he
- didn't have an email address for him. The telephone number he gave appears to
- connect me to something, but the voice at the far end of it is so faint I can't
- tell what they are saying :-(.
-
- If Joseph Mauro is still out there, or if anyone has an email address for him,
- I'd be grateful if they could get in touch. Otherwise, if you are able
- to answer any of my questions below on image extensions to X, I'd also
- be grateful.

- ------------------------------------Forwarded message: (originally to ximage:)
-
- I joined this list a few weeks ago partly because I have a particular
- interest in imaging, and also because I am trying to gather information
- on X extensions in general for a presentation I am due to give in
- a couple of weeks. I've managed to gather a good deal of information
- on Consortium standard extensions, of course, and on other proprietary
- and demonstration-type extensions, but on imaging I've drawn a blank.
-
- I'd like to know:
-
- What is the status of the image extension which I thought I had heard
- of a year or two back ?
- Is it still in development ?
- Is there only one ?
- What does the extension add to X ?
- Is there any information available via FTP on this area ?
-
- I realise that's a lot of questions, and I don't expect full answers,
- but any information will be appreciated. I will summarise to the list
- before the New Year, so answers can be sent to me via email (see signature
- for addresses.)
-
- Thanks in expectation,
- Kevin Ashley
