DISCLAMER AT THE END OF THIS FILE....
July 1997,
Well, about one year ago, I desided to release the sources of my attempt to make an
IFF ILBM Converter, see text below. So, I released it on a BBS of a friend of mine.
Wondering through old suorces, I came across this piece of programming. Realizing that
there's a lot of new addition to the AmiNet on a weekly basis, I thought it would be
a good idea to release the sources on AmiNet as well. Even though it's a year later.
The Amiga community has not parished :). This is my little gift to all of you.
September 1996,
Historical overview
-------------------
This package is a give away. Use it the way you see fit. I started this program sometime in
1993, I think. Anyway, I started to code the whole lot in assembler. This turned out to be
a pain. You don't need great speed to use a GUI. Most of the time the program is idle, waiting
for you to do something. So, after a long time I diceded that C might be a good alternative.
One problem though, I didn't know how to program in the beautiful language of C. So, the challenge
was to teach myself the beautiful language, C. The program grew and grew and got just too big
to be in one module. So a redesign was in order. This was more or less the thrid attempt to
write an IFF ILBM Converter. By now, Commodore got into trouble :( and the will to continue was
laking. So, little work was done in last 1 to 1.5 years. Now that I see absolutly no hope that
the Amiga will ever be anything I decided to give away all my sources for free. My first intention
was to make the finished version shareware, but since I will not finish the program and it is just
no good sitting on my hard disk, I thought by giving it away I might do some good.
The sources are developed with SASC 6.50 C Compiler from SAS Institute, Inc. and with
Devpac Macro Assembler 3.04 from HiSoft.
ONE BIG NOTE!!!
---------------
The save function can be dangerous to use. It has *not* been tested. The save copper option
should work fine, but the save structure has been changed and I do not know what the
consequences are for saving the copper lists. BE WARNED!!!
So, take a look at the source, learn from it or use the code. It is yours to use. If you like
it and use it in anyway, please send me a postcard or an e-mail. This way I know someone made
good use of it.
