CONVERTFOX V1.01
================
Created by Matt Francis (m.p.francis@newcastle.ac.uk)
INTRODUCTION
------------
ConvertFox converts normal screen size PageFox pictures to either Art Studio
(hires) or Koala (multicolour) format. These can then be viewed with
ShowVIC, and saved as IFF files if desired.
PageFox doesn't seem to store any colour information with its pictures, so I
assumed it would use shades of grey for its multicolour pictures, and black
& white for its hires pictures. I hope this is correct, as I know nothing
about the PageFox program.
USAGE
-----
Use ConvertFox from a Shell.
Format: CONVERTFOX [FROM] <file> [TO] <file> [MULTI]
Template: FROM/A,TO/A,MULTI/S
FROM - The name of the PageFox file to be converted.
TO - The name of the destination file.
MULTI - The default destination format is Art Studio (hires). If this
switch is specified, the picture will be converted and saved as a
Koala (multicolour) file instead.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thanks to Pasi Ojala for information on the PageFox format, and for
supplying me with several PageFox pictures.

faster.
