I'm trying to use Import to read graphics images but Mathematica does
not seem to be able to startup the various converters.
For example,
In: g1 = Import["Mac OS Background.gif", "GIF"]
gives the message
Out: Experimental`RegisterConverter::noexe: "Could not find the
executable "GIF.exe" in any of {<<109>>, << 118 >>, << 127
>>,"GIF.exe"}."
-Mathmeatica 4 is running on a Mac with OS 8.1.
-The path to the converters does not have any apostrophes but does
contain the common \[Florin] suffix for folders.
-The complete path for the converter looks like
<Pokey-1c:Computation \[Florin]:Mathematica \[Florin]:Mathematica 4.0
\[Florin]:Mathematica 4.0
Files:SystemFiles:Converters:Binaries:PowerMac:GIF.exe>.
-I'm guessing that the florins are causing a problem with Mathlink.
Before I rename the directories, has anyone seen this behavior before?
Many thanks for any help...Rick Bartram
