- CONVERTFOX V1.01
- ================
-
- Created by Matt Francis (m.p.francis@newcastle.ac.uk)

-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- ConvertFox converts normal screen size PageFox pictures to either Art Studio
- (hires) or Koala (multicolour) format. These can then be viewed with
- ShowVIC, and saved as IFF files if desired.
-
- PageFox doesn't seem to store any colour information with its pictures, so I
- assumed it would use shades of grey for its multicolour pictures, and black
- & white for its hires pictures. I hope this is correct, as I know nothing
- about the PageFox program.
-
-
- USAGE
- -----
-
- Use ConvertFox from a Shell.
-
- Format: CONVERTFOX [FROM] <file> [TO] <file> [MULTI]
- Template: FROM/A,TO/A,MULTI/S
-
- FROM - The name of the PageFox file to be converted.
- TO - The name of the destination file.
- MULTI - The default destination format is Art Studio (hires). If this
- switch is specified, the picture will be converted and saved as a
- Koala (multicolour) file instead.
-
-
- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
- ----------------
