If one of this files is missing, it would be better to get a full version
of the archive, best you get it directly from my homepage.
It is allowed (accepting the restrictions above) to use the program and the source code for non-commercial purposes for free. If the source code (or a part of it) is used in another application or a given program will be developed further the developer has to ensure that both in program and new source codes full credits to the original author are given. I would be very happy getting a notice about the new developments. That means that I´m expecting a short message, for instance a quite short e-mail.
The author may change this copyright notice in further releases.
BUT: I was heavily working to debug the program and I spent a lot of time
for testing it. The chance of undiscovered bugs is still greater than zero.
Installation finished !
Note: The option "-?" is no longer available.
I think that the programs help texts should be enough for a short expla- nation of all options. If you need more information you have to take a look at the programs documentation.
Some hints for the "Syntax" line:
FOR PPC-USER ONLY: If you are using a PowerPC-CPU some things are different.
At first you have to use the executeables with the suffix ".elf" and you
have to run all these programs using the "runelf" command, for instance:
"runelf pgmmedian.elf <...parameters...>".
I added this feature mainly for use with Ultraconv, but it is useful for running the programs on UNIX too.
Note: You need additional software to use pipes on AmigaOS.
(Note: The following lines are the original introduction chapter from the Ultraconv guide made by Felix Schwarz. Thanx, Felix !)
UConv is also predestinated for the creation of web-pages. You can create GIFs of all kinds(also GIF-ANIMs!!) with a free "plugin". The creation of HTML-Maps is another great feature for all www-freaks.
UConv also does a lot of other animation-formats like QT, AVI, MPEG, FLI IFF-ANIM, XFA and Transferanims(those little anims in the top right corner of your browser).
If you do series of pics with programs like Maxon Cinema 4D, you also can join these single-pics to any animation-format or convert it to another picture format(ILBM, JPEG, BMP, PCX, PNG, TIFF, PPM, AMIGA-ICON, ASCII..)
But a REAL NEW feature is the ANIM-Publisher whichs allows you to fully animate the sizes, positions and transparencys or colors of up to 100 light-, text, effectbox or anim-/picture-objects !!! UConv is the only program on AMIGA or on any other machine, that can do this!
Loaders and savers, filters, anim-f/x etc. can be easily added to the program, because of its open architecture.. so it`s really worth registering!
Enjoy it!
The installation script supports Ultraconv 2.x and 3, but I have to note that it was not possible to test it with V3, because V3 was not released at the time I finished this work. So I can´t give any guarantee that the installation of the Ultraconv support will be 100% successfull (using V3).
Another note to Ultraconv 2.x: Some filters added by STIMP_noise will produce mad looking pictures. This is no fault of the filter programs ! It depends on Ultraconv 2.x, but this fault will be removed in V3. If you can´t wait for the new version, you have the opportunity to modify the file "Uconv:Commands/Filters". You have to edit all the lines added by STIMP_noise that include the "uctool" command, for instance:
uctool UC:Temp.ppm "pgmbinomial -v -3 - - <" UC:Tempus.ppm
has to be replaced by
pgmbinomial -v -3 UC:Temp.ppm UC.Tempus.ppm
But you have to note that these two lines aren´t equal ! In the first line the filter will be used for transforming separately the red, green and blue color component of the picture. In the second line only the red color component will be transformed !
Computer:
The PPC-executeables are compiled by Felix Schwarz
(bs168@fen.baynet.de)
on an Amiga 4000 (68060/50 MHz, PPC 604e/180 MHz) using SAS/C, PowerUP-
Version Beta10. Thanx a lot, Felix !
