- This directory contains several packages:
-
- 1) Netpbm 01mar94, plus some bugfixes and a few more filters.
- Image conversion and manipulation programs based on PBMPlus 10dec91
- * New filters: cietoppm pnmframe ppmgrad
- * Updated: bmptoppm fitstopnm pcxtoppm ilbmtoppm
- 2) hpcdtoppm v0.6
- Photo-CD image converter by Hadmut Danish
- 3) JPEG v4
- JPEG decoder (djpeg) and encoder (cjpeg)
-
- Requirements:
- * AmigaOS 2.04 (V37) or higher, or 1.3 (V34) with disk-based mathieeesingbas/
- mathieeesingtrans libraries (available from C=)
- * mathtrans, mathieeedoubbas and mathieeedoubtrans libraries in LIBS:

- This is a special compilation for the Meeting Pearls CD. Some information
- in the doc/* files are outdated, the differences are described here:
- The Netpbm programs and hpcdtoppm use the PBMMEM environment variable as
- described in doc/Netpbm.INTRO, with an additional option "IOBUF=<size>".
- This selects the size of the I/O buffers, the default being 16K. Usually
- there is no reason to change it.
- The jpeg programs do not use this variable, they have their own way of
- controlling memory usage, see doc/jpeg.README.AMIGA.
- All programs were compiled with DICE 2.07.56R. They use dynamic stacks (if
- they run out of stack space they automatically allocate more), and the
- mathieee*-libraries for floating point calculations. The jpeg programs always
- use memory pools (unless the pool cound not created for some reason, in this
- case they fall back to normal AllocMem calls), the other programs use memory
- pools if the "pool" keyword is used in the PBMMEM variable.
