Enclosed is an update to BitMapToEPS application for converting several formats of graphics (B&W bitmap startup screens, MacPaint, PICT, PICT2 formats).
* It will read any of the above formats, or any format that you have a Claris XTND translators for. Convert it to B&W bitmap, and allow you to select area or whole picture to be saves as a PICT or EPS file.
* If QuickTime(tm) is installed, it will also allow you to play quicktime movies and PICT. I admit it is of very limited use, but it was just to try out quicktime routines.
* Supports Cut, Copy to Clipboard, Paste).
* Contains on-line help (accessed from Apple Menu).
Also enclosed are two XTND translators which require Claris XTND System and applications that support it: StartUp Screens, Windows (.BMP) format
Note: the color tables for BMP files may not match, but it does support B&W, 16 color, 256 color formats.
ShareWare $15.00 for appplication, and the two translators.
NOTE:
If you need other AFE or XTND translators written send me a note. I am converting the XTND translator into a Apple File Exchange translator for Windows (.BMP) format. Current plans are to only convert from (.BMP) format to PICT format. I would be relativily easy to convert to B&W bitmap format of (.BMP) if their is a call for it. I am looking into converting .IMG files found in PC GEM, Ventura Publisher.
Things to do and limitations:
* limited testing on non-system 7 machines.
(Tested on Classic, IIsi, LC, Mac Portable, IIci).
* need to add option to work with Color or B&W images
(instead of covering everything to B&W).
* need to paint editing tools: Fat Bits, eraser, selection, moving, pasting & undo.
* need to add System 7 balloon help
* printing does not print original picture, it prints the converted B&W picture.
