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.
