- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- C64.svobject is an external Library-Module for the superview.library V2+.
-
- It contains SVDriver-Support for the superview.library V3+, and
- needs any SVDriver with ChunkyPixel-Support.
-
- It supports reading of C64 Graphics Files (Koala, Doodle).
- In detail these are :
-
- Reading :
-
- Format Dimensions Colors Displayed as FileSize Flexibility
-
- Doodle 320x200 2/16 320x200 9218 (9200 < fs < 9230)
- Koala 160x200 4/16 320x200 10003 (fs == 10003)

- History
- ~~~~~~~
- V2.5 (07.05.1994) :
-
- - use of SAS/C V6.51
- - use of new "superviewsupport.library" V1
- This saves some space again (here : ca. 1100 Bytes).
-
-
- V2.4 (27.03.1994) :
-
- - removed internal SVDriver-Replacement, so that we now are really
- dependent on external SVDrivers in libs:svdrivers.
- This saves about 1600 Bytes diskspace and reduces redundancy.
- - replaced SAS/C's sprintf()-routine with own, RawDoFmt()-based one.
- This saves again about 1800 Bytes.
- - now using Utility-Library for integer operations (activated
- SAS/C's UTILLIB option) : this increases 68000-codesize a little
- bit, but increases speed on 68020+ systems
- (should also decrease codesize, but does not ...)
- - reconstructed revision notes for V2.2 and V2.3, which were
- mixed together in V2.3
-
-
- V2.3 (25.03.1994) :
-
- - slightly improved internal BitMap-to-BitMap routine
- - removed some dead code and variables in decoding routine
-
-
- V2.2 (20.03.1994) :
-
- - slightly changed recognition routine
- - and more
-
-
- V2.1 (17.03.1994) :
-
- - first version with Koala and Doodle support
-

- Credits
- ~~~~~~~
- This program was inspired by several programs, which allow reading
- and displaying of C64 graphics on the Amiga.
- For getting information about the C64 Koala and Doodle formats I took
- a look into the source code of ComView 1.0 by Paul Grebenc, which can
- be found as "C64View" on the SaarAG-Disk #523.
-
- I did not include and use the Source Code as such, but I really learnt
- a much out of it. The algorithms are perhaps nearly the same,
- but because I do not use file-to-screen decoding my code is perhaps
- some 100% faster (different structure, many optimizazions).
-
- I also took a look into the specifications found under "literature".
