Brown) Distribution: na Organization: System Administrator, Drilling Resources Development Lines: 46 The iff2sun program recently posted doesn't work well for me. I am getting this error: Compression is messed.: Error 0 over and over and over and.... My first guess is that the iff files are coming back mundged, and I need to try fresh again with a iff image. I am using kermit to transfer the file, binary mode, directly between the amiga and the sun. For more info, I tried the following iff files Mickey MOuse (wizard) sitting duck (you know, the one that was a poster) Star_destroyer (whoops! said it was a HAM) King Tut (can you say stock image?) Now, also to clarify, the image retains just enough structure that I can make out what it was supposed to be, from within the garbage... Can someone either: a) send me a fixed iff2sun.c b) send me a iff file, uuencoded o course c) splain to me how to get uuencode to create a file. type uuencode you get: uuencode [infile]so like a happy camper, I type (all in ram) uuencode mickey.iff mickey.uu and it proceeds to spit the uucode on the screen, with no file created.. AAARAAGH! d) send me a rasterfile of KingTut or Mickey :-) Humph! I had such great hopes...maybe the "new improved version" will be out soon! // You've heard of CATS, DOGS, & GOATS? *NOW* TRY GERBILS! // "Gladly Educating Real Beginners In Latest Software!" \\// Lawrence H.
