812.0. "Converting pictures with IFF_to_SIX.EXE" by VENERE::ZABOT (Marco Zabot-Adv.Tech.mgr-Turin ACT) Thu Oct 15 1987 15:19

    To Eric Osman and who else may answer.
    
    I've typed you're file ERIC.SIX and tried to do the same.
    My procedure has been:
     - take picture using DIGIVIEW 1.2 , set to B/W FULL.
     - saved as IFF
     - kermit'd the file to VAX
     - runned with IFF_to_SIX.EXE
     - typed it: garbage.

    Any suggestion ? What has been your procedure?

    	One suggestion to convert IFF to B/W sixel is to use the LA50
    print driver and a PD program that redirects the printer to a file.
    I can't remember the name of the program but it's on one of my
    FF disks.

    PS. I look for the program tonight.

    If anyone wants their picture on-line, send me a snap and I will
    digitize as a full-color HAM image with DigiView.

    Use CSIX.EXE .... copy your .IFF (no HAM mode pix) to your VAX.
    Then run CSIX -pVT340 -l100 -t5 filename.IFF filename.SIX
    To display it on your VT340 type  TYPE filename.SIX

    If you are looking for CSIX.EXE (which does a *great* job translating
    IFF format pictures to SIXEL format), see notes 1589 and 2323.

    The version 1.3 ARC, executable and doc files can also be found at:
