VIEW16 is a program that can display some TARGA format files on an ATI VGA
WONDER XL in 32,000 color mode. In addition, it can Compress an uncompressed
TARGA file, and show a series of TARGA files in a slide show.
It will read 16, 24, or 32 bit files, Compressed or not, forward or reverse
encoded. It also reads the colormap included in 32 bit files, but doesn't use
it for anything.
If a file is greater than 640x480 pixels it will be truncated to fit.
the command is:
view16 <inputfilename> <-c -snnn -wnnn <outputfilename>>
where:
"inputfilename" is the name of the TARGA file you wish to view
"-c" is a switch which indicates that you wish to compress an existing file
"outputfilename" is the name to give to the compressed file
"-snnn" will scan the current directory for all .TGA files and display them
"nnn" times
"-wnnn" will cause the automatic display mode to Wait for "nnn" seconds
between pictures
EXAMPLES:
1) To view the targa file "abc.tga" type:
view16 abc.tga
2) To compress a targa file "abc.tga" to the file "abc.tgc"
view16 -c abc.tga abc.tgc
3) Display all the targa files in the current directory 10 times, with a
15 second pause between each picture
view16 -s10 -w15
Note: to abort the display, press any key while the screen is being
written. The keyboard is ignored during the Wait mode.
