Pulled the NAGEL image files off of atari.archive, none of my viewers
can show them. Is there an atari.archive picture viewer that understands
'x.sps' images?
Thanx in advance.
Is all.

BTW is there a possibility to convert .GL to .SPS? Perhaps by converting the single images and then re-linking them? Are there programs to rip .GL files into .GIF and to combine .SPC or .SPU to .SPS? Which System, Atari or MesS-DOS? Thorsten Guenther aka Weregoose

Here is an extract of Dave Baggetts ST picture formats list: ---------- CUT HERE ------------------- ... <Spectrum 512 (Smooshed)> *.SPS This format compresses Spectrum 512 pictures better than the standard method. There are at least two programs that support this format, SPSLIDEX and ANISPEC, although the two seem to differ slightly in their interpretation of the format. One point of interest: Shamus McBride deciphered this format without an ST! 1 word 5350 (hex) ("SP") 1 word 0 (reserved for future use) 1 long length of data bit map 1 long length of color bit map <= ? bytes compressed data bit map <= ? bytes compressed color bit map ---------- < ? bytes total ... ---------- CUT HERE ------------------- Hope this ends the discussion, --- Lars +----------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | lsmichae@faui43.uni-erlangen.de | | | | | | Lars Michael | | | | "Down with ATARI, | | Graduate Student of Computer Science | / | \ Long live the ST !" | | at University of Erlangen/Germany | / | \ | +----------------------------------------+----------------------------------| | "May the Schwartz be with you!" | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I would love to see any way to convert .GL to .SPS! We atari users need a way to view GRASPRT.. Bryan_Jones_Woodworth@cup.portal.com
