Re: Need help with installing ImageMagick from PERLZ site

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Justin!!

My basic need right now is to convert PNG files to another format, as I 
described below. And I need to be able to do this using QP2SHELL or 
QP2SHELL2.

Between you and Aaron I'll maybe make almost a useful PASE guy.

I will not be developing anything in PASE - just need to get something 
installed for use in production. So although I played around with bash 
20 years ago, when first playing with Debian on my home machine, I don't 
need all its bells & whistles, I don't think.

If there were something other than ImageMagick that would run more 
outside of PASE, that'd be fine - I wondered about a Java solution - 
I've seen examples using the Java libraries, but I'd probably have to 
write something and am not prepared to learn enough for that right now - 
nor is my boss!!

So I'll proceed - I assume again that running the stuff in ibmichroot 
requires elevated authority in order to install stuff?

Thanks again
Vern
