A program to unpack and rasterize MacPaint bitmaps is posted to
net.sources. The program is similar in structure to the one found
in the Macintosh technical manual. The routine does include the C
version of UnPackBits routine, which, to my knowledge, is not al-
gorithmically defined anywhere. The program internally includes
a character and a plot filter to test that it works. There is
also a superb artwork called Horror Castle ((c) Ozan S. Yigit) in
HEX format for your visual enjoyment. You will need to write a
small unhex routine to convert this thing to binary, but that is
no sweat.
I would appreciate comments, bugfixes, algorithmic improvements
and copies of any filters you may develop to output the macpaint
pictures to strange devices.
