SONIC DEVELOPMENTS - CONVERTERS PACK - PC INSTALL DOCS BY POD
-------------------------------------------------------------
By now you have probably noticed that there are some PC files
on the disk. This is because when you port IFF pics to the PC
you will want to convert them to other formats besides GIF or
LBM. Hopefully these tacky docs will be of some use to you!
- POD
INSTALL PROCEDURE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Format an MS-Dos 3.5" Disk to low-density. Either do this on
a PC, use Dos-2-Dos or use the Format option from the main
menu.
Once formatted, shove the disk into your external drive, and
select the program you want from the menu. It will then be
decrunched and copied onto the MS-Dos disk.
If you have any problems, you can transfer the files manually:
Decrunch the relevant file with Powerpacker. (Files are crunched
in DATA format and can be found in the PC directory on this disk).
Then copy the file in the usual AmigaDos way using MS0: or MS1:
as the pathname for the MS-Dos disk drive. (Alternatively, you
could copy the file using Dos-2-Dos).

GRAPHIC WORKSHOP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Graphic Workshop is a shareware program that allows you to
convert between the following formats:
- Macpaint
- GEM/IMG (Ventura)
- PCX (PC Paintbrush)
- GIF (Compuserve)
- TIFF (PC)
- Postscript (EPS)
- WPG (Word Perfect)
- MSP (MSP Paint)
- IFF (DPaint PC/AMIGA)
- BMP (Windows 3)
- PIC (PCPnt/Pictor)
As far as I know, the program should work with any PC, I can
guarantee that it works on a Packard Bell 386SX with VGA.
VGIF
~~~~
The other program, VGIF allows you to display pictures in the
GIF format. Docs are transferred along with the program.
To use this utility type VGIF *.GIF or a suitable wildcard
combination.
