Re: Clip Art
This is for the person who requested info about clip art - I deleted the message
before realizing I'd saved something posted in Decemeber to this list. I
apologize for not naming the source, but it's somewhere in the digest, i guess
...

This site belongs to the Smithsonian Institution. Although it doesn't contain

does contain lots of interesting and useful gif files for interesting
publications.

        Plenty of gif files to suit your fancy.
Questions:
1) How do I make use of a clip posted to alt-binaries.clip-art?
Most of the art posted to alt.binaries.clip-art is UUENCODED.  Before you can
make use of a uuencoded post, you must first save it to a file,
strip off the headers (all the the lines up to the one that starts with BEGIN)
using an editor and save the file.  Hopefully your system will already have the
UUDECODE utility installed.  Type "uudecode <filename>" to convert the file back
to its original binary format.  Now you may transfer it back to your local
system using your favorite protocol.
2) How do I convert .gif files to another format?
There are many programs available for the Macintosh, MSDOS and other platforms,
both commecial and shareware.  Look in the graphics directory of your favorite
FTP site for such a program.
For the Macintosh, my favorite is called Graphics Converter.
It is available for ftp on inform.umd.edu in the /software/Macintosh/Utilities
directory as graphic-converter-177us.cpt, it is a very nice peice of software.
For the IBM, Image Alchemy is nice.
3) Is there more information about desktop publishing available on the Net?
YES!  Try out the links on Geoffrey Peter's home page:
http://www.cs.purdue.edu/people/gwp.  This doc is chock full of great links
regarding desktop publishing and clip art. Geof has done a terrific job with
this Web page.
