There have been some queries in the past for utilities to convert between PBM formats and 24bit IFFs so perhaps it would be handy to know that I've uploaded 24toPPM and PPMto24, as well as a PPM previewer, to ab20.larc.nasa.gov The archive is called ppm.lzh. No doubt it has been / will be moved from incoming/amiga to say /amiga/graphics/something. PPM, portable pixmap, is the most general of the PBM intermediate formats.

Could you also post the source codes for these programs? I use PBMPlus on UNIX systems and transfer the output files to my Amiga, because the DECstations allow me to convert images that are much bigger than my A500 can handle, in a fraction of the time than my Amiga could do it. If I had an A3000 with 12M of memory, that would be a different story, but I do not have such a system, so I have to make do with what I've got. > >Enjoy, > >-- >Albert-Jan Brouwer "It is bad luck to be superstitious." >Pelt Computers OudeDelft 121, 2611 BE Delft, The Netherlands >UUCP hp4nl!cbmnlux!ecl001!ajbrouw ------------------------------------------------------------- / Marc Barrett -MB- | BITNET: XGR39@ISUVAX.BITNET / / ISU COM S Student | Internet: XGR39@CCVAX.IASTATE.EDU / ------------------------------------------------------------ \ ISU : The Home of the Goon / \ Who wants to Blow Up the Moon / -------------------------------------------------------

They've been implemented them in assembly. Sure, C (and soon perhaps C++) is the way to go, but over the years we built this really nice development environment with resource tracking, care free error reporting, transparent buffered file I/O, etc. etc. This makes it easy to churn out small tools/programs like these eventhough it's assembly. > If I had an A3000 with 12M of memory, that would be a different story, > but I do not have such a system Note that the conversion is "streamed", it doesn't require a lot of memory, only lots of disk-space. > / Marc Barrett -MB- | BITNET: XGR39@ISUVAX.BITNET / >/ ISU COM S Student | Internet: XGR39@CCVAX.IASTATE.EDU / -- Albert-Jan Brouwer "It is bad luck to be superstitious."
