[comp.sys.atari.st] Degas to MacPaint picture converter

rcd@cbnewsj.ATT.COM (rana.c.dutt) (11/14/89)

While playing with Superpaint under Spectre Mac emulation last week, 
I said to myself, "Self, wouldn't it be nice to be able to convert
ST picture files to MacPaint format?"

I looked for a PD utility to do this, but found none.  So I wrote one.

Right now it does the basic operation of converting Degas monochrome (.PI3)
pictures to MacPaint (PICT) files. Once converted, you can use the Transverter 
utility that comes bundled with the Spectre software to get it to an MFS disk.

This opens up the possibility of incorporating .PI3 images (e.g., output
from an ST digitizer) within a wide range of Mac applications (e.g.,
MacPaint, MacWrite, Superpaint, Pagemaker, MS Word, etc.).

If you think this (GEM-based) program would be useful to you, please reply.
If there is sufficient interest, I will post it to comp.binaries.atari.st.
