- -----------------------------------------------
-
- GIF2LBM is a *very* simple bitmap converter.
-
- It converts plain 256 colour GIFs to the LBM
- format used with Themie Gouthas' XLIB.
- It also saves the palette separately in a
- *.PAL file.
- The GIFs must have dimensions no greater than
- 255 x 255. This is because of the limitations
- of the LBM format. Also, if you want to then
- convert the LBMs to PBMs, the width must be
- divisible by four.
-
- As I said, this is a *very* simple converter.
- It doesn't do much in the way of checking,
- and the wildcards are a bit funny. (if you
- type GIF2LBM *, then it will do nothing, so
- you should type GIF2LBM *.GIF).
-
- The idea with GIF2LBM is to use it to convert
- small GIFs into LBMs and PAL files. Then, to
- make these files useable in XLIB, just use the
- LBM2PBM executable. I've added this executable
- to the ZIP archive with its source code.
-
- I've also included my own source code, and an
- example TurboC 3.0 project file. To compile
- the program, you will need XLIB06.ZIP, or some
- other version of XLIB.
-
- Anyway, you'll figure it out if you want to.
- But why bother?
