- Image Info V1.1
-
- This is a new version of IMGINFO.ACC uploaded as file #8819.
- It is not a fix of version 1. From what I can tell (no negative
- responses as of yet), version 1 seems to work. Version 1.1 changes
- the basic functionality. Specifically:
-
- * It retrieves more information than version 1. It provides
- the image size in pixels (as before). It also uses the scan
- information in the IMG file to determine the size of the
- original art work in inches. It then takes information on
- the resolution of your output device, and calculates what I
- call the optimal image size (where there will be a one to one
- pixel mapping from the image onto the device). This version
- assumes a 9 pin printer with a driver supporting a 120 x 144
- dots per inch output. (see note below).
-
- * It will gracefully handle a premature end of file condition
- if the IMG file it read comes up short of the required 16 byte
- header.
-
- * It also preserves the drive and path specified between multiple
- uses of the accessory. Version 1 would reset this information
- between uses.
-
- And that's about it. Version 1.1 was also written in Personal Pascal
- and free to anyone who appreciates it. Any comments, questions or
- suggestions are welcome.

- (Note: My original intent was to include in this version functionality
- which would allow a user to specify the resolution of their output
- device and then save that information in the executable image of the
- accessory. Alas, after hours of fiddling, using Dan Wilga's Memfile
- 2.0 (which I find a most pleasant dump utility) I was unable to
- find all the information which I would have to change. The next
- version, if there's any demand for it, will provide that functionality.
- For now, I really should be studying for the GRE this Saturday.)
