- I just got a copy of XloadImage, and for the 24 bit Utah Raster Toolkit
- run-length-encoded (RLE) images I have, it does indeed convert to
- 8 bits. I have modified the rle.c file to support 24 bit truecolor.
- I will send you a copy now, and send the Xloadimage developers a copy
- once I get back from SIGGRAPH.

- I have been told by a usually reliable source that the UTR can be
- copied from princeton.edu:/pub/Graphics.
