A friend of mine recently had the opportunity to include an Amiga 2000 in a
proposal for a slide production system. He's using Liquid Light to produce
slides of screens painted by Harvard Graphics on the bridge card side of life.
He ran into a problem when he realized that he's only going to get CGA
resolution out of the bridge card driven Amiga display. What he needs is EGA,
and it occured to me that he could get it if he could translate the Harvard
Graphics files to IFF, and then display them on the Amiga side as hi-res
interlaced images. Liquid Light should then have no problems grabbing that
screen for conversion to a slide. My question is, has anyone done a Harvard
Graphics to IFF converter? Does anyone have a reason why it should be
particularly difficult, such as inherent format/pallette problems?
Another possible solution would be if the 286 bridge/B2000 would directly
support EGA through use of an upgraded custom chip set. Anyone care to comment
on the likelyhood of the next generation supporting noninterlaced displays?
Thanks in advance,

Just out of curiosity, what does Harvard Graphics do and why is it so great? A couple people I know have mentioned it in passing but I haven't been able to get a description from them on what exactly the package does. Does it graph things with bar charts and pie charts etc, or is it something entirely different? --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
