- Hi Xlib'ers.
-
- Ive had a lot of requests for bitmap conversion utilities so I have decided
- to release some of the tools I use in conjunction with xlib.
-
- Many of you often ask what the best sprite editor to use for creating images
- for your graphics libraries right ? Well, my opinion is that you should use
- the paint programs that are commercially available since they have all the
- features you could ever want - many of which aren't implemented in small
- public domain sprite editors, further more, you can choose the one you feel
- most comfortable with.
-
- To assist in the creation of bitmaps for use with XLIB, I have put together
- a TSR program that captures bitmaps from within your favourite editor. It may
- be a little quirky but it does a good job IMO. It also has the ability to
- capture palettes and entire 13h screens. BTW: XTSRTOOL will not work under
- windows, only DOS based paint programs.
-
- The XLIBTOOL archive also contains bitmap conversion programs and a couple
- of other goodies you may find useful.
-
- These tools were created in an adhoc fashion and were never intended for
- prime time so excuse the lack of documentation and the quick and dirty
- structure of the code.
