Hi Terry,
You can't use 5551 or 888 image file formats because they are raw data.
There is no header information that allows a generic image loader to
determine the width, height, etc. That information is in the .ct file for
clipmaps.
You can convert your 5551 or 888 images in the following way:
On IRIX:
imgcopy myfile.888#raw%size=512,512%colormodel=rgb convertedimage.rgb
On Linux use ImageMagic "convert":
convert -size 512x512 -depth 8 rgb:myfile.888 convertedImage.sgi
-don
