Green / lucifer@world.std.com / {xylogics;uunet}!world!lucifer >Party naked... /AOL: Gargoth / Pro-line: kgreen@pro-angmar TGE (The Graphic Exchange) is a commercial product that allows you to cut and paste (with various scaling, color mapping, and color masking options) between various Apple 2 and Mac graphics. TGE supports all of the Apple II modes, plus print shop and print shop GS graphics, icons, and Macpaint graphics. This product is quite different from SHRConvert, SuperConvert, and others, in that it lets you load ANY and save ANY type of graphic (ie: you can go from SHR to print shop graphics, macpaint graphics etc, not just one way). You also get recursive slide shows, primative painting, etc, on all graphics modes. TGE library disk # 1 contains support for a lot of new graphic formats, such as GIF (extensive support), 3200 (including all the new standards), print shop borders, more mac support, superprint, springboard publisher, PC Paintbrush, etc, etc. TGE library disk # 2 is a similar effort, but not yet complete. It supports IFF (including HAM), Utah RLE, Mac PICT, Mac color PICT2, Print Shop 3, various scanner toolsets, text <=> graphics, Geopaint, etc, etc. It also includes a new application, which handles all the inter-machine formats much more effectively (just loads/saves/views/quantizes - there are no transfers as such). I try to keep a bit quiet about it all on the net these days, as I know how long it takes for these things to reach the market. I havn't touched anything in TGE LD#1 for a while, but as far as I am aware it still hasn't left the doors of the publishers. If you want to find out more about TGE, contact the publishers: Roger Wagner Publishers (RWP), 1050 Pioneer Rd Suite 'P', El Cajon, CA (don't ask me the zip or phone # - I live in Australia). The currently shipping version of TGE is, I believe, version 4.2.0. It also comes with version 3.7, which can read Newsroom Clip Art and Macintosh MFS and HFS disks directly, and a second disk containing some Macintosh software and sample pics.
