Too, bad.  And my old company mail is gone, too.  I looked through the
mail you pointed to searching for a thread I posted some years ago
proposing a new pix file format.  I was reminded of that during our
discussions of rt and rtedge.

In the middle of that posting thread I suggested a desire for a
multi-threaded version of rt and rtedge that could write to a file for
my scripted processes.

The proposed pix format essentially had a header similar to png (or
similar graphics files) which defines the number of rows and colums
pixel-wise (and the pixel depth).  In the process of generating the
new pix files my wish was for the output to be already trimmed of
excess white space so that the result would normally be a rectangle
instead of a square.  All the plot handling utilities could read the
file and the user wouldn't have to manually enter the -w and -h (or
similar) options.

That's about all I remember because I can't find my old notes anywhere.

Regards,

-Tom
