 This is my first ever attemp at using a scanner.  The scanner I used
 for this picture of Hockey star Eric Lindros (Philadelphia Flyers)
 was a HP Laser III.

 Please tell me how the quality is.

Subject: Eric Lindros Pic - (Hockey)  -  lindros.jpg [0/1]

Hello Genny:

Here it Eric Lindros returned. I am a part-time programmer. I have been
working on a program that will let you send pix over the Net without
uuencoding them and without a viewer. Here's the result. There were no
problems reading it. What you see here should be exactly what I received
except for the bottom bit (and my blatant advertising ;-)

NETPIC can't scroll and to tell you the truth I can't see much point in
making it do that. I used to be a photo editor (Montreal Star) and to me
it's like having half a picture on Page 1 and the other half on Page 2.

There are lots of colors in the picture but at this resolution some
pictures don't work as well as others. As NETPIC is still a bit
experimental (meaning I could add a few more bells and whistles) I'd
like you to email me some more examples. GIF is best, even if they run
about 60K or split into two parts.

I don't have a scanner and know very little about them. I might have to
buy one if this program works and people want NETPICs. Basically, you
take a 320x200x256 gif as input and exactly 18 seconds (!) later you
have what you see below including the text header and tail. Converting
from JPG to GIF is easy, it takes longer to add the color text.

Anyways, this was interesting. Let me know what you think of the
program.

Cheers
Jim

------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING IS A PICTURE. IT IS *NOT* UUENCODED.  The picture is
a program completely self-contained in the text. It includes slide
show timing and special effects.  Follow these three simple steps:

  [1] Clip at the line below
  [2] Save the remaining text as NETPIC.COM
  [3] Enter NETPIC and the picture will display
  [4] Enter NETPIC HELP to see the display options

You may rename the COM file anything you like however the program
must begin with the line NETPIC.COM>=  The picture is 320x200x256
and requires VGA.

------- PLEASE REMOVE THIS LINE AND EVERYTHING ABOVE IT ---------
NETPIC.COM>=
