In the following, assume that the name of the image file is foo.bmp and that you initially log in to black.

1. Ftp foo.bmp to phoenix.

2. Log in to black. At a black shell prompt run the command

   xhost +phoenix
   

3. Telnet to phoenix. At a phoenix shell prompt run the commands

   setenv DISPLAY black:0.0
   xv foo.bmp
   

4. Right click the mouse on the xv window that pops up. The xv controls window pops up. In the xv controls window click the save button. The xv save window pops up. In this window set the Format to IRIS RGB and Colors to Full Color. Click Ok. This will create the file foo.rgb.
