- VIEW16 is a program that can display some TARGA format files on an ATI VGA
- WONDER XL in 32,000 color mode. In addition, it can Compress an uncompressed
- TARGA file, and show a series of TARGA files in a slide show.
-
- It will read 16, 24, or 32 bit files, Compressed or not, forward or reverse
- encoded. It also reads the colormap included in 32 bit files, but doesn't use
- it for anything.
- If a file is greater than 640x480 pixels it will be truncated to fit.
-
- the command is:
-
- view16 <inputfilename> <-c -snnn -wnnn <outputfilename>>
-
- where:
-
- "inputfilename" is the name of the TARGA file you wish to view
- "-c" is a switch which indicates that you wish to compress an existing file
- "outputfilename" is the name to give to the compressed file
- "-snnn" will scan the current directory for all .TGA files and display them
- "nnn" times
- "-wnnn" will cause the automatic display mode to Wait for "nnn" seconds
- between pictures
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- 1) To view the targa file "abc.tga" type:
- view16 abc.tga
-
- 2) To compress a targa file "abc.tga" to the file "abc.tgc"
- view16 -c abc.tga abc.tgc
-
- 3) Display all the targa files in the current directory 10 times, with a
- 15 second pause between each picture
- view16 -s10 -w15
-
- Note: to abort the display, press any key while the screen is being
- written. The keyboard is ignored during the Wait mode.
