I'm looking for a rather off-the-wall utility that may exist, but probably doesn't. I'm just asking before I go off and write one myself. anyway.. onward.. I've got an Envision 220 (vt100-esque, with Tek 4014-esque, and 16 from 4096 color extentions). anyway. I want a tool (preferably useable with pbmplus utils or some such) that will convert an image bitmap into dots i can plot on my tek-esque screen. the things graphics screen can display 640x400x16, (from 4096 colors), so I figure it's slightly better than an old EGA display. It'd make a neat hack to get an old 16 color GIF up on one.......... (Yes, you read that right, I want a Tek GIF viewer. I warned you it was obscure..) anyway.. The envision display i've got is quite perfectly capable of doing it (albiet REALLY slowly at 9600bps), I just dont want to reinvent the wheel or anything... Any pointers for the terminally insane? Anyone want a copy if I end up having to write my own and actually finish the project? Anyone stopped laughing yet? ;) Erik replies to emf@freedom.nmsu.edu
