As far as I know, a sun raster file is a pretty simple 8-bit bitmap. You might check the source for pnmtorast (in the netpbm package) for more details. In any case, I had zero problems with this file on my SS2 with CG6, or SS1 with CG3 (i.e., sun4c machines with 8-bit framebuffers). -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
