- Here are two quick programs I wrote:
-
- (1) Grab an active Screen and write it to a file in IFF -IFFENCODE
- (2) Decode arbitrary IFF files (e.g. see the format of) -IFFDUMP
-
- The routine to grab the highest screen in IFFENCODE.C was taken
- from a similar program Carolyn from amiga wrote and posted (same thing, but
- it dumped the image to printer).
-
- Since the programs require my library to compile, I've also included
- the uuencoded binaries. Have Fun!
-
- I tried to dump Dave Wecker's HAM pictures... the dump worked fine,
- but every VIEWing program I have either refuses to open an interlace HAM
- display, or runs out of memory because it keeps a second copy of the picture
- around (96K pics!).
-
- The decoder program is useful to get the general layout of IFF
- files. It decodes any IFF file down to the CHUNK name and size. It will
- print additional information only for CHUNK types it knows about...
- admittedly I did not spend much time making the latter complete.
-
- Tell me what ya' think.
