- SONIC DEVELOPMENTS - CONVERTERS PACK - PC INSTALL DOCS BY POD
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- By now you have probably noticed that there are some PC files
- on the disk. This is because when you port IFF pics to the PC
- you will want to convert them to other formats besides GIF or
- LBM. Hopefully these tacky docs will be of some use to you!

- - POD
-
- INSTALL PROCEDURE
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Format an MS-Dos 3.5" Disk to low-density. Either do this on
- a PC, use Dos-2-Dos or use the Format option from the main
- menu.
-
- Once formatted, shove the disk into your external drive, and
- select the program you want from the menu. It will then be
- decrunched and copied onto the MS-Dos disk.
-
- If you have any problems, you can transfer the files manually:
-
- Decrunch the relevant file with Powerpacker. (Files are crunched
- in DATA format and can be found in the PC directory on this disk).
-
- Then copy the file in the usual AmigaDos way using MS0: or MS1:
- as the pathname for the MS-Dos disk drive. (Alternatively, you
- could copy the file using Dos-2-Dos).

- GRAPHIC WORKSHOP
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Graphic Workshop is a shareware program that allows you to
- convert between the following formats:
-
- - Macpaint
- - GEM/IMG (Ventura)
- - PCX (PC Paintbrush)
- - GIF (Compuserve)
- - TIFF (PC)
- - Postscript (EPS)
- - WPG (Word Perfect)
- - MSP (MSP Paint)
- - IFF (DPaint PC/AMIGA)
- - BMP (Windows 3)
- - PIC (PCPnt/Pictor)
-
- As far as I know, the program should work with any PC, I can
- guarantee that it works on a Packard Bell 386SX with VGA.
-
- VGIF
- ~~~~
- The other program, VGIF allows you to display pictures in the
- GIF format. Docs are transferred along with the program.
- To use this utility type VGIF *.GIF or a suitable wildcard
- combination.
