Hi Everyone,
There seems to be enough interest in my translation of the actual near stellar
area into 1 LY hexes (along with some rough estimations of what's where), that
I'd be more than happy to have it posted somewhere "public."
Though I can only seem to translate into an EPS file, Beth seems to have had
success getting GIF and JPG formats from my EPS data.
If EPS is OK for you, send me an email and I'll send it to you.
Otherwise, send me an email telling which format you like best, and I'll ask
some kind webmaster (hint) to post it to his page after I get it properly
translated.
Thanx,
Quoth the Schoon:

What is EPS?
An encapsulated PostScript file is a PostScript file which describes a single
page. Typically, the purpose of the EPS file is to be included (encapsulated)
in another PostScript file (e.g., the EPS file is a figure to be included in
the PostScript rendering of a page of a document). The EPS file can contain
any combination of text, graphics, and images.
The only program I know of that will read/write EPS (Encapsulated
PostScript) files is Adobe Photoshop.
I hope this helps

I'm uncertain about this but I think Ghostscript (a freeware program) can read
EPS. It can read PS files quite happily in any case. Otherwise the simplest
way to read an EPS file is to use a postscript capable printer and print the
file to it using a dos command. Copy filename.* LPT1
Thats what I did the last time I printed EPS.

Just a little more to add to that, EPS is a combined format - basically
a
low-resolution picture for the screen, combined with the PostScript
representation of the image for high-quality output to PostScript
printers. If you have any Adobe product you can probably read it, as well as a
large
host of other image-specific products. I recommend GraphicConverter
(Mac).
Dunno which program to recommend on Windows - haven't found a single one
I like.
Schoon, pardon my ignorance but what is EPS? GIF and JPG I can read and I
thought I could read PIC (dont know why it stuffed up). Send it and I'll see
what happens. Thanks.
