Short: Converts pictures on the fly Author: Ed Morley, Steve Hall Uploader: Martin Schulze (schulze@phil.uni-sb.de) Type: biz/demo DataChrome copyright CHROMA 1995 /6 Program Ed Morley Concept Steve Hall RELEASE 1.1 DEMO VERSION Update Jan '96 ------- PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A DEMO VERSION OF DATACHROME 1.1 IT WILL ONLY LOAD THE TEST PICTURES INCLUDED The full version works with all datatype-friendly graphics files. DATACONVERT NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS RELEASE ----------------------------------------------------- .Guide files in this Documentation require AmigaGuide ! Install scripts require the standard Installer provided with WB3.0. The JFIF Datatype by Christoph Feck of Tower Systems includes a progress window and a Prefs option for different display modes. (It's also quite fast). Now licensed for commercial distribution by CHROMA. For this release of DataChrome, the datatypes are to be kept in the format of their original archive to satisfy license restrictions. Follow the JFIF documentation to install this datatype. It includes extra files in Libs, Codecs, Prefs etc. You WILL need to remove existing JPEG datatypes to use it. The GIF datatype on this disk is by Michael Zucchi. Permission to distribute this datatype with the package has been granted by the author. An install script has been provided, which will install PCX, Windows and GIF datatypes for you (but not JFIF). Latest Info ----------- If you've the "Amiga.info" datatype installed, you could encounter problems when DataChrome intercepts "open file" system calls. Keep it in Storage until it's needed, or just de-activate DataChrome. Make sure you install BOTH parts of the Datatypes into Classes/ and Devs/ - some Datatypes also require extra (ie more than 2) files to work. Thanks to Amiga Shopper for the nice review (82%) Similarly, thanks go to AUI magazine (80%) Danke schoen Amiga Plus magazin, Deutschland (Empfehlung der Redaktion) Many thanks Charles & Sarah-Jane at AUI Datatypes included with this release: ------------------------------------- MacPaint, WindowsBMP, WindowsICO and PCX released by Commodore-Amiga. JFIF Datatype by Christoph Feck. GIF Datatype by Michael Zucchi updated to June '95 version Incompatible Applications ------------------------- Imagine 2 reported as incompatible SCALA 500 (non-AGA) Maxon Multimedia Feedback -------- If you have new datatypes which may work with DataChrome please contact us. If you find a program incompatible with DataChrome please let us know. A list will be compiled (hopefully a very short one) and included with subsequent releases of the program (see above). All program submissions gladly accepted - in confidence. --------- Innovative ideas are planned for future releases of this package.
