- We get fine pictures from Fieldview (CFD vis. pkg.) on a
- RS/6000 screen with 100ASA Ektachrome, a tripod, and a autoexposing
- camera (stop down the lens so the exposure is fairly long). We do
- that because we don't have a way of exporting graphic files to a
- slide-maker. However, when we want stuff off a PC, we usually can
- make an export file (TIFF, HPGL, CGM, etc.) that we can send to a
- slide bureau. I'm sure there's plenty in England...search your
- computer magazines for ads. Many of ours will take files over a modem
- and FedEx the final slides in 24 hours, and many will reshoot a file
- for free if it doesn't turn out right.
