ANSIartist 2.5 additional information file
===================================================================
Welcome to ANSIartist 2.5!
For ANSIartist, I developed a "multi-file-format-feature".
With this feature, you are able to save a screen in several unique
file formats, like ANSI or WildCat! 3.xx. But this feature, which
should work based on DLL technology, was in a beta test stage and
was a real good... toy. Well, I decided NOT to implement this
feature in this version, because we had several problems with
Borland Pascal's DPMI. So, ANSIartist 2.5 reads its format
information for "extended formats" like WildCat! 3.x from *.DFF
files (dimas file format). This file contains all information for a
256-color based format (each color has its own color code).
Well, ANSIartist 2.5 needs this files if you want to execute an
Open or Save command (must be in current directory). It does work,
ok, but DFF it isn't very fast in loading files. I'm very sorry,
but the next version of ANSIartist will offer a more powerful
format support.
STOP!!! If you want us to create a DFF file for you (e.g. for
SuperBBS), send us a (widely) complete documentation and a demo
file of this format. We will return a DFF file to you...
Thanks for reading this file! I hope you like the product...
and I hope that you are registering ANSIartist, too!
