Support Utilities

The directory 'utils' holds a few useful programs. 'tgatoppm', and 'ppmtoilbm', and their manual files, are a portion of the NETPBM distribution, which is Copyright 1989 Jef Poskanzer. The Amiga release is from Ingo Wilken. 'pngtopnm' is an addition to the collection, Copyright 1995 Alexander Lehmann. These files are included without explicit permission, but in compliance with the distribution and use requirements set forth as follows:

  "Permission to use copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
  documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided
  that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that
  copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting
  documentation.  This software is provided "as is" without express or
  implied warrany."

PNG datatype support is available both on Aminet and the POVAmiga home page, but due to license restrictions they are not included in the POV-Ray distribution archive.
*** Cloanto Italia has granted me permission to distribute their newest V43.3 release PNG.datatype within the POV-Ray archive! Thanks Cloanto!***

A growing selection of Amiga POV-Ray utilities lives on or is pointed to by the POVAmiga home page.
