Short: Datatypes to Spectrum SCR/TAP/ZX82/bytes Author: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young), joe.moore2@ukonline.co.uk (Joe Mackay) Uploader: unsatisfactory@bigfoot.com (Chris Young) Version: 1.0 Type: gfx/conv PDHFIC 1.0 ---------- Ever wanted to convert images from your Amiga over to a Spectrum (or even an emulator)? Well, where have you been? This is the third in a long(ish) line of programs I've written/ported to allow you to do just that. If you used to use PPMtoSCR and NetPBM to convert images, then you should really be looking at gfx/pbm/ppmtoscr.lha PDHFIC is the ultimate way to convert pictures to the Spectrum format - it features a small GUI, dynamic rescaling and Datatypes support. It converts pictures in COLOUR, even supporting attributes like BRIGHT and FLASH. It can be run from CLI or Workbench. And, yes, the documentation is a shameless rip-off of the old PPMtoSCR guide :-) If you haven't been convinced to try it yet, then check out the example SCRs (GIFs, actually) on the ppmtoscr (& PDHFIC) support pages at; http://www.bigfoot.com/~unsatisfactory/ppmtoscr/ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 273 56.5% 30-Aug-98 16:49:30 PDHFIC.info 628 272 56.6% 30-Aug-98 16:49:26 +Examples.info 6912 3574 48.2% 22-Jul-98 16:18:42 +cartoon.scr 2952 302 89.7% 22-Jul-98 19:18:18 +cartoon.scr.info 6912 2870 58.4% 26-Jun-98 02:38:48 +gromit.scr 2952 302 89.7% 22-Jul-98 19:18:18 +gromit.scr.info 6912 3487 49.5% 22-Jul-98 16:14:38 +mansell.scr 2952 303 89.7% 22-Jul-98 19:18:18 +mansell.scr.info 22548 8868 60.6% 28-Aug-98 22:30:28 +PDHFIC 26774 11236 58.0% 29-Aug-98 23:05:54 +PDHFIC.guide 635 310 51.1% 30-Aug-98 16:49:26 +PDHFIC.guide.info 3231 505 84.3% 30-Aug-98 16:49:26 +PDHFIC.info 1136 646 43.1% 30-Aug-98 00:21:38 +pdhfic.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 85172 32948 61.3% 01-Sep-98 20:46:14 13 files
