As part of a project for my new employer, I had to write an IFF ILBM
reader. It wasn't fun. Since an IFF reader has very little value as far as
proprietary secrets go, I asked my boss if I could toss the ILBM reader into
the public domain, and save some other poor soul the effort of writing one.
He agreed (address nice letters to UmeCorp).
Some of you may, after looking at the code, notice a striking
resemblence to the PD IFF reader, 'plop'. This is no accident; I used
'plop' as a template for my IFF reader. 'Plop' as it was was unsatisfactory
for my needs, since it wasn't general. I'm reasonably certain mine is.
Mine handles HAM, HIRES, and overscan.
MANUFACTURE:
Manx 3.4b (and probably other versions as well):
1> make
USEAGE:
main filename [filename...]
The program will load the ILBM file "filename", then ask you to
press RETURN. When you do so, the picture will be displayed. To exit the
program (or move on to the next file on the argument list), press RETURN
again. I know, not a very wonderful user interface, but it was supposed to
be an internal hack.
I hope someone finds this thing useful, from a code appreciation
standpoint.
