I was wondering if anyone knows of a program which converts the
Computer Eyes GS data file (the big one with the most data) to
a 3200 pic. I've never seen one, so I might do it myself. Here
are my questions:
1) What is the standard 3200 pic format? The picture followed
by the color table for each line? Are they usually compacted?
2) I would appreciate some source code on displaying a 3200 pic.
I belong to GEnie, so I will look in A2Pro (I think some
source exists there), but would prefer email since it is free!
Source can be in any language, but I will probably be doing
the pic conversion in C and the display in assembly (it has
to be, right?)
Thanks for any help,

They will both ship with TGE LD#2. You can convert these files -> 3200 files (in any of the many filetypes) and visa versa using TGE (and soon with The RGB Exchange). However, I currently only handle the data files produced by the ProDOS 8 version of Computer Eyes (320 x 200). I have been led to believe that the GS files are exactly 1800 bytes larger, ie: Red plane, 600 bytes, Green plane, 600 bytes, Blue plane, 600 bytes. and that they have a BIN filetype. Can ANYone confirm this (filetype, auxtype, length {and even format})? If you can, I'll fix my toolset up to handle the GS format, and even send you this toolset pre-release so you can test it for me / use it for yourself.
