IBMEPS.import module v2.0.6
**************************** CHANGES *******************************
;
; version 2.0.6
;
; - added a version string for 'version ibmeps.import' to work
;
; - fixed a bug that would not freemem when the module did a abortobj()
; inside the the pic routines.
;
; - fixed a bug when the module could not o_malloc() the memory for the
; pic object (it did not check to be sure it got the OK from o_malloc)
;
;
; version 2.0.5 - public release
;
; - fixed bug when importing a PALETTE tiff image: the get info routine
; would store the 3 times total number of colors in the cmap.
;
; - fixed bug when tiff image had multiple rows per strip
;
; - added support for the eps data being after the TIFF header
;
; - bug fix: I removed the check for the %!-PS-Adobe string because the
; eps data can be above the 1K buffer that the check routine has to work
; with.
;
; version 2.0.4 (shipped with PgS 2.1 12/10/90)
;
; - fixed bug in PackBits de-compression routine that caused
; the de-compression to run on past it's boundries.
; (which in turn caused system problems w/ NewShell & IconX)
;
;
; version 2.0.3
;
; - applied TIFF/GIF LZW speed up and code reduction to this module
;
; - bug fix for f_skip "bug" that occured when f_skip was fixed.
; f_skip now sub.l the length in d0, so I need to fix my work around
; so it would clear out the upper word of d0 (the length of the file)
;
; - bug fix when an error condition happened in the f_read, f_skip stuff
; I left a value on the stack so when it exited on an error it would
; crash.
;
;
; version 2.0.2 (uploaded 9/25/90)
;
; - bug fix in tiff section (see tiff202.asm for more info)
;
; - temp fix for f_skip "bug" - now I only seek on word length.
;
; - added support for packbits compressed multiplane images
;
;
; version 2.0.1
;
; - shipped with PageStream 2.0
;
; - added support for tiff image at end of eps stuff
;
;
; version 2.0.0
;
; - initial release
What makes this module so special? It will display on screen a TIFF
representation of the EPS data (if there is one in the file). No longer are
you forced to look at the box with a X in it and wonder how you're output
will look (unless you want to). Also as an added bonus the TIFF representaion
can be output to any non-postscript printer (if the printer is postscript the
actual postscript is output).
When importing, there are two options: Show picture and Do not show
picture. So if you are low on memory so can save some memory by not
loading the picture with the eps.
With version 2.0 of the OS the "version" command has gained some new talents.
Whereas it used to only work on libraries, it now works on any file. It will
look for a "version string" inside a file and print it out to the CLI if it
finds it. A "version string" has been added to many of the new import modules.
This makes it very easy to find out what version of the import module you have.
From a CLI just type "version <module name>" and press return. You no longer
have to load up PageStream and look at the import requester for the version
number.
As with all the modules, if you come across some pictures that will not load
or crash when importing, please upload them to our BBS or mail them to us on
a floppy disk with an explaination of the problem. We will try them and fix
the import module if appropriate.
