Keith;
I've taken Loren Carpenter's images and made them into a gif file, which
encludes both the raw data and a filtered or enhanced version of both frames.
Below are Loren Carpenter's original comments.  Maybe you know someone that
is willing to do the same (create .gif files) of the rest of the frames if
you could get them from Loren.

From Loren Carpenter;

>I've been reading the chatter on the net about the "Mars face" for some time.
>Most, if not nearly all, of the opinions and observations have been based on
>little or no information.  This is largely because of the difficulty of
>obtaining the original imagery.

>A few years ago when I was with Lucasfilm, I was asked by Mr. Hoagland
>and associates if I would participate in the "Mars Project".  This was
>to be an informal group of technically capable people who could tinker
>around with the "face" and "city" pictures in their spare time.  Work
>being what it was, my spare time evaporated and I drifted away from the group.

>However, for the last 5 years I've had Viking Orbiter pictures 35A72 and
>70A13 on a tape on my shelf.  This posting contains the only two images
>of the "face" returned by Viking.  Both images in this posting are
>100x100 excerpts from 35A72 and 70A13 respectively.

>The data is exactly as I received it.  It's pretty noisy and there is an
>obnoxious riseau mark in one of the images.  Most of the noise appears to
>be caused by "broken bits", i.e. 1 (or maybe 2) bits toggled somewhere
>in the pixel.  I wrote a smart median filter and it cleaned them up fairly
>well.

>For ease of decoding (everybody doesn't have every spiffy decompressor) each
>image is encoded in hexadecimal.  4 lines of text constitute 1 scanline of
>picture.  I have also included the file header for each image.  It contains
>camera and sun information, if you can figure it out...

>The original pictures are 1204x1055, so don't expect to see them on the net.
>Our management won't let other sites log on to ftp files around, so if there
>is someone who wants to be a librarian, I can probably send them the full
>files.

>I haven't done anything serious with these images, so please don't flood me
>with questions.  Personally, I think it's just a pile of dirt.  The Mars
>Observer will have 25x the resolution, so hang on a couple of years and
>we can all see what a pile of dirt looks like up close.

>The excerpts are offset as follows:
>	35A72: 318 in x, 416 in y
>	70A13: 152 in x, 874 in y
