Short: Koala painter datatype (43.1)
Author: glue@df.lth.se <Lars Malmborg>
Uploader: glue@df.lth.se <Lars Malmborg>
Version: 43.1
Type: util/dtype
TITLE
KoalaDT - Commodore 64 Koala painter datatype
VERSION
43.1
AUTHOR
Written (or rather composed) by Lars Malmborg (glue@df.lth.se).
The datatype is based on the example by Andreas R. Kleinert.
(Aminet:dev/c/C_V43-DT.lha)
The recognition is made with a program by Michal Letowski.
(Aminet:dev/misc/MakeDT-1.2.lha)
The rendition is based on code by Pasi 'Albert' Ojala.
(Aminet:gfx/conv/C64Gfx12.lha)
DESCRIPTION
KoalaDT is simply a datatype for the AmigaOS 3.x with which one
can display pictures from Commodore 64 in Koala painter format.
A problem is that the images contains no proper header.
The matching is done with the length of the file (10003 bytes),
and a the first two bytes (load address for Commodore 64) beeing
$00, $60. (If you have pictures you know are in Koala painter
format but aren't recognised, you'll have to alter the first two
bytes into $00, $60.)
If the highest bit in the byte containing the background color is
set, the picture is rendered with the background as transparent.
To see it in action, make sure you have it installed the next
time you browse and go to http://www.ludat.lth.se/~dat93lma
