IMG is, was, and always will be the standard GEM image format. NEO, P?3,
etc. were invented by programmers too lazy to try to use the IMG standard.
If we move to anything else, it will be something like TIF. Give up on
NEO, it is only a toy format.
Yes, IMG is supposed to support colour too.

At least that's my opinion. >Yes, IMG is supposed to support colour too. Hey, how do you know the colors? As far as I know, there are no way of specifying the palette data. Only the number of bitplanes. Am I wrong?

Could someone tell me the complete GEM IMG format and what all those values mean? Are all those features like pixel size supported by the AES or GEMDOS or unsupported entirely? Does anyone actually fill in those values? & John Kawakami & laba-1aj@web.berkeley.edu & Live each day as if it were your first
