----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Just a quick update with machine info and ONE corrected time (slip of the fingers on my part): To display doq image: a.486pc (24M RAM; 66 mhertz): using imdisp as software, we got something ugly to display in under a minute BUT Larry used an already-decompressed image b. DECStation 5000/200 (minicomputer): 40M RAM; using xv as software, it took about 20 minutes to display image (this includes decompressing an image) c. Alpha 4000 (DEC minicomputer): 128M; again using xv, it took TWO minutes Mary larsgaard, UCSB MIL
