[magick-users] CGM conversion to JPG

[James_Dawson at irco.com]

I'm trying to get ImageMagick to convert from cgm to jpg and I installed 
the ralcgm delegate which I obtained from 
http://xd.chem.buffalo.edu/download.html.

Well, the command 

'convert graph2.cgm graph2.jpg' 

produces the following:

***FATAL ERROR: CGMmain [140] Cannot open file (Input file: 
C:/DOCUME~1/jdawson/LOCALS~1/Temp/magick-uHwfDF2u.cgm)
convert: Delegate failed `ralcgm -d ps "%i" "%o" "%u"'.
convert: unable to open image 
`C:/DOCUME~1/jdawson/LOCALS~1/Temp/magick-CUK3eGUc': No such file or 
directory.
convert: unable to open module file `C:\Program 
Files\ImageMagick-6.3.1-Q16\modules\coders\IM_MOD_RL_CGM_.dll': No such 
file or directory.
convert: unable to open file 
`C:/DOCUME~1/jdawson/LOCALS~1/Temp/magick-CUK3eGUc': No such file or 
directory.
convert: missing an image filename `graph2.jpg'.

>From what I have read in previous posts from quite a while back in the 
archives, the problem of incompatibility between long filenames and the 
old 8.3 dos filenames is still a problem.  Plus, it seems that the 
'convert' program is looking for a dll that was not part of the 
ImageMagick installation.

If anyone has any useful information or solution to this problem, would 
you share it with us.

P.S.  I was hoping to get this working with PerlMagick :-)
