- I'm looking for a rather off-the-wall utility that may exist,
- but probably doesn't. I'm just asking before I go off and write one
- myself. anyway.. onward..
-
- I've got an Envision 220 (vt100-esque, with Tek 4014-esque, and 16 from
- 4096 color extentions). anyway. I want a tool (preferably useable with
- pbmplus utils or some such) that will convert an image bitmap into
- dots i can plot on my tek-esque screen. the things graphics screen can
- display 640x400x16, (from 4096 colors), so I figure it's slightly better
- than an old EGA display. It'd make a neat hack to get an old 16 color GIF
- up on one..........
-
- (Yes, you read that right, I want a Tek GIF viewer. I warned you it was
- obscure..)
-
- anyway.. The envision display i've got is quite perfectly capable of
- doing it (albiet REALLY slowly at 9600bps), I just dont want to
- reinvent the wheel or anything...
-
- Any pointers for the terminally insane?
-
- Anyone want a copy if I end up having to write my own and actually
- finish the project?
-
- Anyone stopped laughing yet?
-
