Make sure it gets copied properly to your mac (sz/zterm work fine) 2. use PDS_Decompress (available at explorer.arc.nasa.gov in the software directory, I think) to convert the imq file into something useful; there are (at least) two possibilities: 2a. put PDS_Decompress in FITS mode; convert the file; and open it with GraphicConverter (shareware available at sumex-aim.standord.edu or its many mirrors ie ftp.lth.se or ftp.funet.fi) 2b. pud PDS_Decompress in PDS mode and use Image4PDS (also available at explorer) Good luck. -- --- Bill Arnett billa@netcom.com San Jose, CA From garret@mrao.cam.ac.uk Tue Jul 5 12:37:09 1994 Xref: saips.cv.nrao.edu sci.physics:66075 sci.astro:47682 Path: saips.cv.nrao.edu!hearst.acc.Virginia.EDU!darwin.sura.net!europa.eng.gtefsd.com!howland.reston.ans.net!swrinde!pipex!lyra.csx.cam.ac.uk!mraos.ra.phy.cam.ac.uk!garret From: garret@mrao.cam.ac.uk (Garret Cotter) Newsgroups: sci.physics,sci.astro Subject: There is no steady state universe.
