Subject: Re: need NCSA Image or equivalent for IIfx


I am Jennie File, technical support for NCSA's software tools. Please
feel free to contact me with any questions and/or comments you might
have about our software.

2.0 is an old version of NCSA Image. Version 2.1.3 does work on a Mac IIfx.
I am sending information of how to obtain our software.

Keep an eye out for NCSA Image v3.0 due out this fall. It will include
the image processing functions of NCSA ImageIP and new 3-D imaging
capabilities.
