3382.0. "DECWpaint : invcodtyp and phyendinp errors" by SWTHOM::TISSERAND (Jean-Marc TISSERAND TSC FRANCE) Mon Sep 24 1990 10:06
Hi,
	One of my customer generates a ddif file using decwindows paint.He saves
	it (version n-2) and call paint again. He modifies the image and then 
	saves it again (version n-1 and version n)
	When calling the CDA viewer on his file version n, he gets the error : 
		img-f-invcodtyp, invalid code type during decompression.
	On version n-1, he gets the error :
		ddif-e-phyendinp, physical end of input before end of encoding.
	A convert/doc of version n to a PS file works fine, but the PS file does
 	not contain the modifications after version n-2.
	Sounds like a problem with the ddif information in the file ?
	Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Jean-Marc.

| 3382.1 | Can you provide a little more information? | DDIF::MUNYAN | Steve Munyan, ZK2-2/O23, DTN 381-2264 | Wed Sep 26 1990 01:13 | 21 |

    It sounds to me like you have a version of DECpaint that is generating
    DDIF that can't be handled by the CDA Viewer and PS Back End you have
    on your system.
    
    Errors generated by the PS Converter appear inside the Postscript file. 
    You can see them by searching for the text *diag*.  We hope to correct
    this for a future version.
    
    Do you have DECpresent on your system?  DECpresent provided a new
    version of DECpaint (which allows you to generate color images).
    
    What version of VMS and DECwindows are you running?

    You might be able to get a better answer to this problem in the CDA
    conferences located on DDIF.  If you've already entered it there please
    disregard this message.  I just got back from vacation and am almost
    1000 notes behind in my work related conferences.
