Currently recognized with information are IFF ILBM files, GIF and SRGR files. All of these display the size of the bitmap and also the number of bitplanes. Extra information is displayed about IFF ILBM files. HISTORY (most current improvements first) V1.04 - 26 September 1992 Added directory support. If a directory or device is given as argument then that is searched recursively for all pictures and the information printed about every picture. Also added P6 file information. Now tells what the size of picture and how many color registers. V1.03 - 25 September 1992 Added GIF information. Finally found out how the size of the page and also the number of bitplanes were stored. Currently only GIF87a files are displayed with the correct information as far as I know. I have no GIF89a files to test this on. V1.02 - 24 September 1992 Added SRGR file information. Only gives basic information. Size of bitmap and tells that file has 24 bitplanes. Whether this is true or not I don't know but I am assuming that all SRGR files are 24-bit. If I am wrong please tell me how to find out otherwise. I have no way of viewing these so I don't know that I am getting the right info. V1.01 - 23 September 1992 Added extra information to IFF ILBM display. Now know the aspect ratios and also the page size of the picture. (Is not always the same as the picture. I have a picture of bitmap size 610 X 513 but the page size is only 600 X 7. Thats what the IFF header says anyway.) V1.00 - 22 September 1992 Started PicInfo. Can identify IFF ILBM, GIF, SRGR, PPM, P6, JPEG and specially crunched pictures but only knows information about IFF ILBM files so far. Keep watching this station for further updates. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any improvements or hints the contact me at: Paul Hunt or s925478@minyos.xx.rmit.edu.au 3 Sandpiper St Werribee Victoria Australia 3030
