As of last week TRE (The RGB Exchange) is complete.
It uses TGE (The Graphic Exchange) toolsets to load and save 320 x 200
graphics in various formats.
It allows displays in 1 palette, 16 palettes, and 200 palettes (3200 mode),
and grayscale.
Quantizations are to 1, 16, and 200 palettes, and 256 colors using either
median cut or a brute force algorithm.
There is also a quantization from color to gray scale.
There are no transfers, etc, as in TGE.
Also, only toolsets of the form XXX.RGB.320.200 are supported.
So far this is:
PIC, GIF, IFF (including HAM), TTH (3200 - which can read PNT files),
Utah RLE, QDV, PCX (PC Paintbrush).
Most of these toolsets will be shipping with TGE Library Disk#1.
This program will hopefully ship with the second library disk for TGE.
This is not a notice of availability, just information regarding current
developments FYI - Please do not post this elsewhere.
