- 0.0 Introduction
-
- Itb is a program that converts the picture image of a WorkBench Icon into
- the IFF ILBM format so that it can be loaded into an graphics editor!
- The program will handle the two different types of icons, those with
- alternate images and those without.
-
- 1.0 Running Itb
-
- Itb can only be run from the CLI (this will probably be fixed soon).
- There are three ways of invoking it. First just typing:
-
- Itb
-
- will result in the copyright notice, short instructions, and the version
- number being printed. By typing a command of the following format:
-
- Itb input output.pic
-
- Itb will read in the icon named "input.info" (note well: you DO NOT
- type the ".info" part of the name!) and will convert it to the IFF
- format and write it into the file named "output.pic". This is the
- mode to use on Icons which do not have an alternate image. If this
- method is applied to an icon with an alternate image a warning message
- will be printed and you will (of course) only get one of the icon's
- two images!
-
- If you invoke Itb with the line:
-
- Itb input normal.pic selected.pic
-
- the program will read the icon contained in the file "input.info" and
- write the Icon's unselected (normal) image to the file "normal.pic".
- Also, if the Icon has an alternate (selected state) image it will be
- written to the file "selected.pic".
-
- 2.0 Memory Usage
-
- Itb does use a bit, but as icons are generally quite small this should not
- be a problem.
-
- 3.0 Support
-
- Any comments, suggestions, or bug reports you might care to make will be
- gratefully received. If you are interested in seeing this program improve
- much send a contribution ($10-$20 to me at the address above). My current
- policy on improving the program is to release a new version for every 5
- contributions I receive, or when I need a new feature!
