╓4 OF THE PROGRAM WHICH CONVERTS ╔┬═ ╨├╪ GRAPHICS FILES TO ╟EO╨┴╔╬╘ FORMAT WAS PUT TOGETHER AT THE REQUEST OF ╠╧┴─╙╘┴╥ (╙OFTDISK ╨UBLISHING OF THE ╒╙┴) AFTER THEY HAD PUBLISHED ╓3. ╘HEIR EDITOR FELT THAT A CONVERTER WHICH AUTOMATICALLY DEALT WITH SELECTED FILES WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INPUT FROM THE USER WOULD BE OF BENEFIT TO THOSE WITH LARGE QUANTITIES OF ╨├╪ GRAPHICS TO CONVERT.
╓4 DOES JUST THAT. ┘OU SELECT FILES FROM THE SOURCE DISK DIRECTORY AND THESE ARE THEN PROCESSED UNTIL EITHER THE END OF THE SELECTION IS REACHED OR THE TARGET DISK RUNS OUT OF SPACE.
╘HERE IS AN OPTION RIGHT AT THE START FOR THE AUTOMATIC COMPRESSION OF ALL FILES LESS THAN 640 PIXELS IN WIDTH. ╘HIS WAS INCLUDED AS ╔ FELT THAT MANY SINGLE CLIP ART IMAGES WERE RESULTING IN OVERLARGE PICTURES AND THAT A REDUCED SIZE COULD BE MORE USEFUL FOR SOME APPLICATIONS WITHIN ╟┼╧╙. ╘HE OUTCOME OF COURSE IS THAT, BY RUNNING THE PROGRAM A SECOND TIME, ONE CAN GET TWO DIFFERENT SIZES FOR EACH CLIP ART.
┴S USERS OF ╓3. MAY HAVE DISCOVERED, THAT VERSION ALLOWS SOME PICTURES TO BE CONVERTED INTO VARIOUS SIZES AND DEPTHS OF RESOLUTION. ╒NFORTUNATELY THE 'TRIM' OPTION DOES NOT OPERATE IN ╓4 NOR, OF COURSE, CAN ONE VIEW THE GRAPHICS AS THEY ARE PROCESSED, AS WAS POSSIBLE IN ╓3.
╘HIS IS NOW ╓4┬ AND THE REASON FOR THE '┬' IS THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE CONVERSION CODE USABLE BY THE OLD 1571 ╥╧═ CHIP AS WELL. ╔T SHOULD NOW SUIT ALL VINTAGES OF ├64 COMPATIBLE DRIVES.
┴NYONE HAVING 'DOUBLE IMAGING' PROBLEMS WITH ╓3 AND AN OLD 1571 ╥╧═ CAN NOW USE THE FILE INCLUDED WITH THIS ╓4┬ ENTITLED ├╧─┼ ╨├╪ ╓3 AS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE CODE OF THE SAME NAME ORIGINALLY SUPPLIED WITH ╓3.
┴S WITH ╓3 OF THIS CONVERTER THE PROGRAM LOADS FROM ┬┴╙╔├ AND TWO DRIVES ARE ESSENTIAL. ╘HE SOURCE FILES MUST BE ON A DISK IN ├╧══╧─╧╥┼ FORMAT. ╔F YOUR SOURCE OF SUPPLY IS A ┬┬╙ OR CONVERSIONS FROM ╔┬═ FORMAT VIA THE ┬╔╟ ┬╠╒┼ ╥┼┴─┼╥, A TRANSLATION TO ├┬═ ┴SCII IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. ╘HE PROGRAM REQUIRES THE EXACT FIGURES (╘RUE ┴SCII) WHICH CONSTRUCTED THE PICTURE IN ╔┬═ FORMAT IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
╒NLESS THE ╨├╪ SOURCE FILES ARE ON YOUR DISK CONTAINING THE CODE, PLACE THE SOURCE FILES DISK INTO THE DRIVE YOU INTEND USING AS THE SOURCE DEVICE AT THE VERY FIRST PROMPT - THAT IS WHEN ASKED ABOUT COMPRESSING THE CLIP ART.
╠IKE ITS PREDECESSORS THIS VERSION TOO IS FOR USE IN THE ╨╒┬╠╔├ ─╧═┴╔╬.
