- 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.)
- 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
- Click on Amiga and check out the Pink Panther at the bottom of
- the page. Only Amiga makes it possible!
