Re: New FITS greyscale mapping

Nick,

Are you using the new log scaling I added?  Sorry, I can't tell from
your note.  What problems did you run into?  I thought about sending
an executable but did not know what kind would be required.  I am
set up to build on Linux/i386, Solaris/SPARC, and Linux/Alpha 
I think mira is SunOS/SPARC?  If so, I have an old IPC looking for 
job. I can set it up to run SunOS 4.1.3 

The log scaler worked well for me.  As I said hundreds of stars
were visible but it did look like I had some wrap around problem.
Could that be the "32768" problem you corrected?  If you have made
changes I'd like to fold them back in to what I have and maybe add
some command line switches so you can make run-time adjustment rather
then do re-compiles.
