RE: creating digital panos

[Varró Norbert <varron@xxxxxxx>]

I have similar problems.
What I plan to do now is:
-upgrade to 256 MByte memory
-buy a new hard disk and format a 2 Mbyte partition with standard DOS
(64K cluster size) This will fasten data flow.
-If you can afford it, get a postscript printer - that format will save
a lot of memory.

Ciao,
Norbert
