I have found out that on the Mac, there is a toolbox routine that expands the data file into the actual bit-map; that is, it decompresses the data. What I need to know is how this data is stored in the file originally, or what the decompression technique is. Please respond to me via e-mail if you can, as I don't read this conference on a regular basis. Thanks for any help you can give. Christopher Maag P.S. Sorry if this is posted twice -- I'm not sure if the first article was canceled or not. --------------------------------------------------------------- Path: uwmcsd1!csd4.milw.wisc.edu!cmaag From: cmaag@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Christopher Maag) {seismo|nike|ucbvax|harvard|rutgers!ihnp4}!uwvax!uwmcsd1!uwmcsd4!cmaag ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
