pokey@well.UUCP (Jef Poskanzer) (04/01/88)
A new version of my portable bitmap package is now available in
comp.sources.misc, or via anonymous FTP from expo.lcs.mit.edu
(18.30.0.212). If you can't get it from these two sources, you
are out of luck. I am *not* going to mail out any copies this
time.
See the appended README for a description of the package. This
version is much improved over the earlier one posted to alt.sources.
No bug fixes (my code does not have bugs) but lots of new functionality.
However, there's still plenty of room for improvement. For instance,
I've gotten lots of requests for a filter to convert from pbm to
MacPaint format -- currently you can only do the reverse. Converters
for Amiga IFF format would be nice too. I don't plan to do any
more development on this package, but I welcome additions from you,
the users.
Oh, by the way, my next freeware project is a bitmap collection.
Currently I've got over 100 bitmaps, in sizes ranging from 16x16 to
1152x900. 12 megabytes total, 2 meg compressed. If you also collect
bitmaps, send me some mail and let me know what you have. I'd like
to at least double the size of this collection before I distribute it.

Portable Bitmap Toolkit
Distribution of 28mar88
Previous distribution 06mar88
Included are a number of programs for converting various bitmap formats
to and from a portable format; plus some tools for manipulating the
portable bitmaps.
Files in this distribution:

Unpack the files, edit Makefile and change the options to suit,
make, and enjoy! I've tested this stuff under 4.2 BSD, 4.3 BSD,
and System V rel 2. Nevertheless, I'm sure bugs remain. Feedback
is welcome - send bug reports, enhancements, checks, money orders,
etc. to the addresses below.

Ya know how there's always one thing you forget? If you're getting the
package via FTP, you'll need to know the filename: contrib/pbm.tar.Z
