Mars pictures for Psion Series 3a/c
-----------------------------------

The Pathfinder is on the Mars since 4 July, and the NASA JPL 
is uploading to the Web hundreds of photos, panoramas, VR and 
other movies.

The Psion community still does not infected by the Pathfinder and 
Mars, does it? OK, all the people learning Series 5 and Java on
seaside holidays. At last I couldn't tolerate more the situation: walking 
without any Mars picture in my Psion 3a ;-)

Let me present two such photos. Both of them converted from color
original to 16 level grayscale PCX with palette equalization. The 
PCX->PIC conversion made by FirePic in Psion PC Emulator with grey
Floyd-Steinberg dithering. For view on Psion I recommend to use 
E.J. Wild's PicView program.

1. MarsPano.pic
---------------
This is a 160x900 pixel size gray version of so called Presidential
Panorama sent by NASA to Bill Clinton.
 
Volunteers could write a simple OPL program to scroll endless
the picture to left or right with connected side boundaries. The 
"de luxe" version could be display in a small window (e.g. status
window) also the actual orientation. I intentionally chose the 
width 900, which is 2.5 times 360 degrees to support it. 

2. RoveYogi.pic
---------------
You can see the rover Sojourner examining the Yogi nicknamed rock
by APXS (alpha-proton-x ray spectrometer). This picture is in fact
a zoomed part of panorama.

Enjoy the Mars in your pocket.
