[Vis5d-users] XWD

This problem started as a vis5d problem, then upon further investigation it 
turns out to be more than that.  However, I am hoping that the experience 
in this group can help me save my graphic files from vis5d.

I am running Red Hat Linux 7.0 with Vis5d+ 1.0.2.  I have downloaded 
ImageMagick and I have placed the program 'convert' into a 'util' directory 
off of my working directory.

When I tried saving a window as a .gif file, I received the following error:
>Using ImageMagick convert program
>Executing: ./util/convert tmp.xwd gif:hole.gif
>convert: XWD file format version mismatch (tmp.xwd) [No such file or 
>directory].convert: Missing an image file name.
>Done writing image file.

I then went an saved a window as an xwd file (hole.xwd).  This worked, 
however when I tried opening it in the ImageMagick 'display' program, it 
would not open the file and referred to it as an "unknown version".  I was 
able to open it up in 'xv', but the image was VERY dark, and barely 
discernible.

I continued my testing and I tried using the program 'xwd' at a standard 
x-windows prompt,to create an image of an open window.  The results were 
the same as above, would not open in ImageMagick, and very dark in 'xv'.

Any suggestions as to why I cannont create an xwd image?

Thanks in advance.
