- Are you using Rend24's interface or are you calling it as a shell
- command? Since you didn't say I'll have to guess :)
- Try using its interface. Run the program and click on the button
- in the upper right hand corner for the source image. A requester
- opens up. Feed it a filename of a .jpeg image on your system,
- wherever it is. Cycle thru the choices for the type of display
- (color, HAM, grayscale etc). and then click the begin conversion
- button at the bottom to start it. If you want to save the image to
- an IFF file (HAM, Hi-res, whatever mode you selected to view it
- in) then feed a filename to the "destination picture pattern"
- string input gadget or use the requester button next to that gadget
- before selecting "begin conversion." Use dithering for hi-res
- color output unless you like globs of banded color.
-
- If you downloaded the older appx 50k archive of Rend24, the one with
- no interface, throw that away and go get the appx 100k archive
- called rend104f.lzh which I put up on hubcap.clemson.edu a couple
- days ago.
-
- If you're feeding Rend24 a .jpeg image that doesn't properly
- conform to the JPEG/JFIF standard then that's another probblem
- entirely and I can't help ya with that. Where are your JPEG images
- coming from? Rend24 V1.04f seems quite happy with the ones I feed
- it... some I've downloaded, some I've made myself.
