[comp.sys.atari.st] loadspx

ljdickey@watmath.waterloo.edu (L.J.Dickey) (06/19/91)

In article binaries newsgroup, the file

	v15i005: loadspx -- Spectrum picture viewer

I tried running the file "loadspx.prg" and succeded in getting nothing
but a warm boot.

There was no documentation, and no information about system requirements.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

loadspx needs a file named madonna.spc (included in the sources of loadspx
in c.sources.a.s) and a color monitor (of course 8-) ). Both files *must*
be in the same dir.

You may rename any SPC or SPU into MADONNA.SPC and run loadspx to show it.

Hope this helps,
