                                  Macintosh Software

This directory contains software which can be used to display the Mars
Digital Image Map (MDIM) images on a Macintosh II computer with an 8-bit 
color display.  The NIH Image program, a public domain program written 
by Wayne Rasband of the National Institutes of Health is provided.

The program and documentation are stored in a self-extracting StuffIt
file called IMAGE.SIT;1.  Double-click on the IMAGE.SIT;1 icon and 
you will be prompted to select a directory on your hard disk where the 
folder MAC is to be placed.  This folder contains the Image program, 
documentation and several folders called 'kernels', 'macros' and 'palettes' 
which are distributed with the Image program.  Refer to the Image
manual for more information about the use of these folders.

The file 'Image Prefs' should be copied into your system folder.  It will set
several of Image's default settings for use with the MDIM images,
such as gray scale palette and a large clipboard.  It is set-up for use
on an 8-megabyte Macintosh with Finder running.  Users with 4-megabyte
Macintosh systems may have to edit the 'PREFERENCE' settings in the
'OPTIONS' menu of IMAGE and reduce the size of the undo and clipboard 
buffers  to 100K in order to display some of the larger MDIM images.

Another file, 'Image Macros' provides macro code which will allow MDIM
images to be automatically opened by the IMAGE program.  If it is
stored in the same folder as the Image program it will be loaded 
automatically whenever Image is started.  Otherwise it must be 
explicitly loaded using the 'Load Macro' option in the 'Special' menu.

To use the macro, select the 'SPECIAL' menu in IMAGE, then select the 
'IMPORT PDS' option near the bottom of the pull-down menu.  This will 
cause a prompt for the file name which you wish to display.  Click on 
DRIVE until the file window shows the contents of the MDIM volume then
double click on folders to navigate through the disk or double click on a 
filename to open and display it.

Image should be run under Finder for best results.  When running
under multifinder, the memory allocated to Image should be set as 
high as possible, using the Macintosh 'Get Info' command in the 'File'
menu. 

Updated versions of Image can be obtained via Anonymous FTP from 
alw.nih.gov [128.231.128.251] in the directory /pub/image. Enter 
ÒanonymousÓ as the user name and anything you like as the password. The 
/image directory contains the latest version of Image, along with source 
code, HyperCard reference stack, and many sample images.
