I have been attempting to use the FBM routines that were posted
to the binaries group, and I have been making little progress.
I have a "normal" 8 color 640x200 IFF file. I convert it to FBM
format grayscale with the 'clr2gray' command. Now, how do I
convert it back to IFF?
fbcat says that IFF cant handle >32 colors, and it appears to be correct,
in that superview refuses to display it. The command suggests that I
do the following: "gray2clr -u | fbquant -c32". This produces a nice
white picture (after adding a -I parm to fbquant).
I also tried rotating the IFF file, with an IFF output file, using
the 'fbrot' command. The output IFF file was just a mash of colors
(at least it was the correct size!).
What am I doing wrong?
The other commands look very promissing, but as long as I can't get a
usuable IFF output file, I can't use them.
Thanks in advance!!!
