Updates and Bug Reports

1. From a friend. The Image program, including source code and documentation, is public domain and may be freely distributed and modified. If you modify it, however, please update the "About NIH Image" dialog box before distributing your version of the program.

2. The latest version is always available by anonymous FTP from zippy.nimh.nih.gov. Enter "anonymous" as the user name and your e-mail address as the password. The /pub/nih-image directory contains executable versions of Image for both 68000 Macs and Power Macs, documentation in Word format, and complete Pascal source code. There is a plain text README file (0README.txt) describing the files, subdirectories and file formats.

3. America On-line. To find the latest version of Image, go to the Software Center of the Computer forum and use the Search Libraries command to search all forums for "NIH Image".

4. Subscribe to the NIH Image mailing list by sending a message containing the line "subscribe nih-image <your name>" to listproc@soils.umn.edu. Next obtain a list of the available NIH Image archive files by sending an "index nih-image" command to listproc@soils.umn.edu. These files can then be retrieved by means of a "get nih-image filename" command. The files are Binhexed and broken into chunks less than 32K in size. The NIH mailing is maintained by the Soil Science Department at the University of Minnesota.
