Some useful information I borrowed from the s95cp Proceedings
CD-ROM.
Stephan R. Keith
Production Editor, SIGGRAPH 95 Course Notes CD-ROMS
This disc contains an electronic version of the SIGGRAPH 95
Course Notes.
At the top level you will find several files or directories. Their
names and contents are:
APPS -- directory
Contains two subdirectories:
ACROBAT: Adobe Acrobat releases, with two subdirectories:
ACRO_V1: Adobe Acrobat reader release 1.0 for DOS and Solaris
ACRO_V2: Adobe Acrobat reader release 2.0 for Windows and
Macintosh
acrosgi: Adobe Acrobat reader release 1.0 for SGI IRIX 5.3
If you are using the Acrobat 1.0 reader, these links will
not work; you will need to go to the individual paper (see the
notes on the PAPERS directory below) and open it individually.
If you do not have the tools to view these figures or movies on your
computer, there are some additional tools you might get to help you.
These include:
To read the PDF files:
The Aladdin GhostScript program will allow you to view PDF files
a page at a time on most workstations. This application can be
downloaded from
ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin
To play the movies:
To play a QuickTime movie on a workstation, use the application
xanim, available by anonymous ftp from
ftp://ftp.portal.com/pub/podlinpec/xanim26978.tar.Z
ftp://ftp.portal.com/pub/podlinpec/xanim26978.tar.gz
To play an MPEG movie on any machine, see the MPEG FAQ file that can
be found on rtfm.mit.edu; this FAQ will list the latest MPEG players
for all major platforms.
To see the TIFF images:
There are a number of shareware TIFF players available. Some of them
may be downloaded from the networks and some are readily available
from other sources. Remember that shareware is not freeware; if you
find that shareware is useful, you should pay the author the licensing
fee to use it. Of course, commercial systems such as PhotoShop will
also let you view these image files quite well.
