Kevin,
>> I see you already got some suggestions for PC conversion software. Is there
some reason you can't use SGI's supplied RGB2TGA utility and convert on the SGI
first?<<
Well actually I did not know that there was a RGB2TGA utility. I have
converted to tiff on the SGI and then copied it over to a PC, however the
problem is that the tiff file is soooooo much larger than the RGB file. It
won't fit on a floppy, and I haven't networked the SGI to the PCs. Which
brings up the point–what does it cost to do that? I guess I have to get NFS
for the SGI and then use Artisoft TC/IP to network to the PCs (which are
running Lantastic 5.0).
Also, are processor upgrades still outrageously expensive? We have a 50mhz
r4000 Indigo. I know they have cpu's that are a lot faster….but at what
price?
