- Short: Extracts ILBM/BODY to c source for MUI programmers

- Version: 37.2
- Type: dev/c
- Name: ExtractBody 37.2
-
- ExtractBody is a small tool useful for MUI applications programmers.
- It can extract the BODY chunk from any IFF ILBM file, and save it in
- c source format. Then you can include the generated files into your
- program to use the MUIC_BodyChunk classes of MUI.
-
- The program generates two files: a code (.c) file, which must be
- compiled, and a header (.h) file, which must be included (via the
- #include directive) into your c source code.
-
- The names defined into the header file are self-explanatory. There
- are also an array containing the image body, and an array containing
- the image palette.
-
- ExtractBody takes two arguments: the name of the Iff image file, and
- the destination file base name. The destination file name MUST NOT
- have any extension, since it is appended by the program. This name
- is also used in the defined names, so make sure it is composed only
- by numbers and letters.
-
- A little example:
-
- CLI> ExtractBody Work:Images/MyBrush.ilbm Work:Sources/MyBrush
-
- will generate two files in the Work:Sources directory: MyBrush.c
- and MyBrush.h. In the header file, all the defined names will have
- BODY_MyBrush_ as a prefix.
-
- Currently, there is not a strong error checking during the process,
- so please report me any bug. My address is tolaini@freenet.hut.fi,

- This software is FreeWare, but the source remains copyrighted by me.
- If you make some ShareWare or Commercial software using ExtractBody,
- you are requested to send me a free copy of your software.

- Have fun,
