- Well, that would be good. However there is a newsgroup
- (alt.graphics.pixutils) specifically devoted to discussion of bitmapped
- graphics formats and their interconversion and manipulation. Perhaps you
- should post your kind offer over there.
-
- There are a number of groups that cover small specialist areas of the
- computer graphics field, and perhaps any new FAQ should not duplicate the
- coverage of these groups (who may well have their own FAQs). I am thinking
- of the scientific visualisation groups too, here. Also the fledgeling
- animation group.
