IMAGE ALCHEMY

Image Alchemy is a DOS-based image conversion program.  It supports a wide
variety of image formats, including GIF, TIFF, Windows BMP, and many
other popular formats.

The general syntax is as follows:

        ALCHEMY [-options] inputFile [outputFile]

The [-options] switch sets the image type to be converted to, as well as
several other options.  Typing "ALCHEMY -h" will give you the option switch
help menu.  "ALCHEMY -h1" will give you general options.  "ALCHEMY -h2" 
and "ALCHEMY -h3" will give you a listing of the various image formats
Image Alchemy can convert to.  Here is an example:

        ALCHEMY -g c:\images\beach.tif

This command will convert the image "beach.tif" in the "c:\images"
subdirectory into a GIF file (the option switch was set to -g for GIF)
and save it to the same subdirectory.  Here is another example:

        ALCHEMY -t b:\vacation.pcx c:\tom\trip 
        
This command will convert the image "vacation.pcx" from the "b:" drive
to a TIFF file that is saved as "trip.tif" (Image Alchemy will add the 
.tif extension automatically) in the "c:\tom" subdirectory.

Consult the help option switches in Image Alchemy for further options
and image formats.
