- IFF2EX / ASCII2EX / MOD2EX / MODULES
-
- A short introduction to their use.
-
- IFF2EX
-
- This CLI based program enables the user to convert an IFF ILBM file to
- an executable program. When run, this program will automatically
- display the picture file contained in it. This eliminates the need for
- an additional display program as well as enabling the user to crunch
- the program and thus save valuable diskspace. This program can handle
- all current resolutions, such as LoRes, HiRes, Interlace, HalfBrites,
- HAM and Overscan, or combinations hereof, in both PAL and NTSC format.
-
- Usage : IFF2EX <IFF-FILE> <EXECUTABLE>
- IFF-FILE : Full path-spec and filename of the IFF ILBM file.
- EXECUTABLE : Full path-spec and filename of the executable program.
-
- Warning: Some programs do not adhere to the IFF standards when writing
- an IFF file and therefore their picture files might present problems.
- (Especially HAM and EHB.) Capturing these pictures using eg. ScreenX
- is recommended as a solution for this problem.
-
-
- ASCII2EX
-
- This CLI based program enables the user to convert an ASCII (text)
- file to an executable program. When run, this program will then show
- the file to the screen. The name of the window used is equal to the
- name of the original ASCII (text) file. The program allows for easy
- viewing of the text. This program both eliminates the need for a text
- editor or text display program as well as enables the user to crunch
- the program and thus save valuable disk space. The program will adapt
- to either PAL or NTSC format.
-
- Usage : ASCII2EX <TEXT-FILE> <EXECUTABLE>
- TEXT-FILE : Full path-spec and filename of the ASCII (text) file.
- EXECUTABLE : Full path-spec and filename of the executable program.
-
- Warning: The ASCII (text) file may not contain ESC codes or TAB's and
- the linelength may not exceed 77 characters. No check is made on the
- validity of the ASCII file. Using files other than ASCII files with
- the program may produce unexpected results.
-
-
- MOD2EX
-
- This CLI based program enables the user to convert a SoundTracker
- module into an executable program which will automatically play the
- module when run. This program both eliminates the need for separate
- player as well as enabling the user to crunch the program and thus
- save valuable disk space.
-
- Usage : MOD2EX <MODULE> <EXECUTABLE>
- MODULE : Full path-spec and filename of the SoundTracker module.
- EXECUTABLE : Full path-spec and filename of the executable program.
-
- Warning: No check is made on the validity of the module file. Using
- files which are not SoundTracker modules may produce unexpected
- results.
- MODULES
-
- This CLi based program combines the functions of both IFF2EX and
- MOD2EX in one program. It converts an IFF ILBM file and a Sound-
- Tracker module into one executable program that will automatically
- display the IFF file and play the SoundTracker module when run. This
- program eliminates the need for additional IFF display and Sound-
- Tracker player programs. It also enables the user to crunch the
- program and thus save valuable disk space.
-
- Usage : IFF2EX <IFF-FILE> <MODULE> <EXECUTABLE>
- IFF-FILE : Full path-spec and filename of the IFF ILBM file.
- MODULE : Full path-spec and filename of the SoundTracker module.
- EXECUTABLE : Full path-spec and filename of the executable program.
-
- Above programs can be stopped by pressing both mousebuttons
- simultaniously.
