-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- The program T.I.M. was designed to create your own 256-color Icons
- for the use in Windows.
- For displaying these Icons you NEED to have at least a HiColor
- graphics adaptor.
- The source for the Icon has to be in Bitmap (*.BMP) graphics file
- format with a 256-color palette and 32x32 pixel in size.
- Use any paint program to cut out a square patch of a picture and use
- the resample option to get it to the right size for an Icon which is
- 32x32 pixels.
- An original package should contain following files:
-
- TIM.EXE MS-DOS Version
- TIM.DOC this file
- *.BMP several sample pictures
-
- HOW TO USE T.I.M.
- -----------------
- You can use TIM either as a commandline application typing
-
- TIM filename[.bmp]
-
- where filename is the name of the .BMP file you want to convert
- (the extension is optional),
-
- or by starting TIM.EXE itself. You will then be prompted to enter
- the name of the .BMP file.
-
- In both cases you can also use wildcards:
-
- TIM * would convert all .BMP files in the current
- directory.
-
- TIM ?all.bmp would convert all .BMP files ending in 'all'
- e.g. 'wall.bmp', 'call.bmp', 'ball.bmp'.
