I read in one of the alt.pictures groups about GIF weather maps, updated hourly, available at FTP site vmd.cso.uiuc.edu (you have to tell Fetch to change working directory to wx). I got into the site ok, and tried dowloading a few examples, using "binary". However, I've not been able to get any of the files to display with any of several Mac GIF viewers- each says the file is damaged or in an invalid format. A friend on an IBM PC downloaded the same files and had no problem displaying them with his GIF viewer. Any ideas? David Artis artis@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu -or- david_artis@spacemail.jhuapl.edu
