Introduction...
The RastPort is an image conversion program for programmers. It allows
you to convert PCX files to a format useable by your compiler or graphics
library. The converted format can be displayed with your compiler PutImage
function.
With the RastPort you can create XGF files from 2 to 256 colors. The RastPort
creates mode specific images that can be displayed in Turbo C, QuickC, Turbo
Pascal, QuickBASIC, and PowerBASIC. The RastPort can also convert pcx files to
SPR/PPR that are used by the Fastgraph Library.
Requirements...
