This package contains programs which are used to convert portable
pixmap (ppm) files to C64 graphics formats (FLI and koala) under
AmigaOS. The package includes ANSI-C source codes for the programs,
so they are also compilable in any environment with an ANSI compliant
C-compiler.

In addition to this package you need e.g. PBMPlus to convert Amiga
ilbm files to ppm first. And of course some way to transfer files
between the machines.

This package may be freely distributed as long as all of the original
files are included. It is permitted to add more example pictures or
documentation. This package may not be distributed as a part of a
commercial release without a written permission from the author.

I still retain rights to the sources and changed source code may not
be distributed in any form. However, you are allowed to use the ideas
and methods found from the source codes.
