Ahh - cat's out of the bag now.

You can create a (Base64 encoded) Jpeg image from any MOSFLM readable
image, thus:

(Note that this is not documented, and entirely new...)

	MOSFLM => DETECTOR MARCCD
	MOSFLM => IMAGE thisimage_001.mccd
	MOSFLM => XGUI ON
	MOSFLM => GO
	NeoCtrl => CREATE_IMAGE FILENAME thisimage
	NeoCtrl => RETURN
	MOSFLM => EXIT

(outside mosflm)

	> cat thisimage | mimencode -u > this.jpg

You should find that the jpeg you get is sizewise the same as the detector
and should be fairly reasonably contrasted.

I hope that this is useful!

ps - this will require a fairly recent release of mosflm...
