lib...@uiucdcs.UUCP is keeping a list of all known references, and

not much discussion on this one, and certainly no compelling
evidence has been presented.
HELP WANTED:
************
* Anyone have pointers to a used 16mm movie camera suitable for doing
computer animation? Primary requirement is that the camera be able to
shoot single frames, preferably by remote control. Also, since
filming is done from a crt, the camera must have an available shutter
speed slower than 1/30. [contact: j...@mss.UUCP]
* Has anybody gotten the NCAR graphics package running under 4.xBSD?
[contact: ra...@eneevax.UUCP]
* Any known sources to electronically stored terrain maps? [contact:
min...@stolaf.UUCP] Responses so far include USGS, a company
called GeoSystems, and the Defense Mapping Agency. (Thanks to

their help.)
* Looking for a good reference book on alignment and calibration of
the sort of video equipment found in TV studios. A handbook aimed at
the chief engineer of a television studio would be about right.

from Howard W. Sams Publishing Co. that might do the trick.
