I have quite a pile of satelite images (from dynamics explorer I) that
I've been using in my research, and I'd like to view them on my RT with
its megapel display.  I use X11R3 and I know the format of the files
enough to translate them to some standard form.  The gif form seems to
be widely enough accepted that I'm betting it's what I want, so,

Does anyone have code to view gif files under X11R3 on a megapel display
on an RT?  If not, does anyone have useful advice?

	You probably will want to check out the 'contrib' and 'oldcontrib'
directories at  expo.lcs.mit.edu  (18.30.0.212)  for some of these programs
for displaying images with X11:
	xloadimage  -  supports GIF and a number of other formats
	pbmplus	    -  converts image formats between over 20 different
			types!
And from  video.mit.edu  (18.80.0.45)  you may want to look at the most
recent version of  xim.
	Let me know via E-mail and I can forward copies of the announcements
for xloadimage and xim.

You can get "xgif" via anonymous FTP from dsl.cis.upenn.edu (130.91.6.12)
in the directory pub.  Retrieve xgif.README and xgif.sh.

It builds fine under X11R3.  I use it on my RT with a Megapel.
