~Contents of the 24th NZ Amiga Users Group (Wgtn) NewsDisk, July 1989`
This is disk one of a two disk set; NZAmigaUG 24.30, NZAmigaUG 24.pics.
~From New Zealands first Amiga Users Group.`
~GIF to IFF :` Programs to convert GIF format compressed picture files
into IFF files for the Amiga. By John Bickers (Wellington),
includes full C source in a zoo-ed archive.
~fig :` GIF to IFF, 256 colour GIF will produce 8 bitplane IFF!
Intermediate workfiles can be modified with the utilities
below, before completing the conversion to IFF with fig.
~half :` Halves the width of large fig workfiles, maintains the
correct aspect ratio when converted to interlaced images.
~mash :` Squishes 6 to 8 bitplane fig workfile to 5 bit planes.
~sham :` Squishes 8 bitplane fig workfile to 6 bitplanes for HAM.
~tdis :` Display program, you can scroll around large pictures
using arrow keys. Can display ANY IFF picture that fits
into CHIP RAM. Doesn't know how to squeeze overscan-hires
pics onto the Amigas screen, but you scroll such pictures
sideways. Great for scating around 1024x1024 exGIF images!
Includes dump to printer and many other options.
~SourceCode :`Complete source code for fig, half, mash, sham, tdis.

~See :` Modified version of ViewILBM, from David Annett (Wgtn.),
use Amiga-Q or Quit option from menus to quit. Fairly
fast and has menu option giving dimension of picture.
Needs a fairly large stack size - you can set it in your
pictures icon.
~SHam :` Sliced HAM picture viewer! By changing the pallette
every scanline, it allows a wider range of colours in a
HAM picture. Effectively this allows it to greatly
reduce fringing effects, and gives sharper images.
Version 1.1 by Rhett Anderson (USA).
~ShowPics :` Picture display program from John Matthews (Wellington),
it can display pics listed in a file, selected from its
requester, or selected via WorkBench. It can load a pic
while displaying the previous one, and can even handle
hires, interlaced, overscan pictures in this mode.
ESC to quit, SPACEBAR to step through images.
Arrow keys can move the pic, eg when loading an overscan
PAL picture on an NTSC machine you may have to hit the
down arrow about 30 times until the display rights itself.
Includes zoo-ed Modula-II source code and two alternative
versions; ARP & SmallShowPics. The ultimate displayer?
~Trashcan :` Icon by AJW.
~Utilities :` Collection of utilities needed on our Newsdisks.
No copy of Display is included due to the large number of
alternative picture display programs featured on this disk.
Printfiles has been removed as Ty can now print files.
'Ty' is a preliminary release of our updated text display
program, docs, source etc will be released on NZAmigaUG 25.
~WBRres :` Preliminary release of shareware program by John Bickers,
that adds Resident programs and Aliases to the Workbench
