I sent out a messae recently about the FBM and PBM packages, but I lost the
one response I got.
I've been trying to compile the FBM and PBM packages without much success,
and thought that maybe some other people might have got one of them to work on
the Amiga. The FBM package compiles fine, but I can't figure out the stupid
options for BLink to make it link correctly. The Lattice manual and the
Makefile haven't helped much so if anyone has had any success getting either
package to run send me some mail, or better yet, POST the finished work so
that other people who may or may not have the Lattice compiler can use it.
Thanks.

I agree. We really need FMB and PBMPlus for the Amiga. I have some project work where I need to convert IFF's to MacPaint, and PBM+ Does the trick. +--------------------------+--------------------+---------------------------+ | John A.

(remember, those portable pixmaps/bitmaps can be very large, over 1 meg). Such a program on the amiga should convert dirrectly from one format to another. (i.e. gif->iff instead of gif->ppm->iff). Since on the subject, a driver to write files like DynaHiRes (NewTek) would also be nice (for files that are beyond HAM capabilities, or that cry out for hires).

The current release of X11R3.1 (available in about 30 days) has the original pbm libraries compiled and running on the Amiga. We've added two new ones that convert from ifftopbm and pbmtoiff. If you are interested in more information about the next release of X11 for the Amiga please email back. Dale Luck GfxBase uunet!cbmvax!amiga!boing!dale
