-
- What is it?
- -----------
-
- PGCOMP is a program that converts
- PGF files (Portfolio Graphic Files)
- to the new PGC compressed format.
- These files can then be viewed with
- PGSHOW 1.10 or greater and can be
- read and displayed with PBASIC 3.1*
- or higher.

-
- How do I use it?
- ----------------
-
- SYNTAX: PGCOMP <filename>[.pgf]
-
- The default file extension is .PGF,
- it can be omitted.
-
- The .PGC format
- ---------------
-
- The PGC (compressed) format was
- developed jointly by Don Messerli
- of Software Vineyard and BJ Gleason.
- The format is non-proprietary. The
- specification is in the file
- PGSPEC.ZIP. We encourage all who
- are developing graphics applications
- for the Portfolio to support the PGC
- format. It is my hope that all PGF
- files be converted to PGC format and
- that people forgive me for jumping
- the gun with the PGF format. Some
- programs will continue to create PGF
- files. They can be converted with
- this program.
-
- What if I find bugs?

- Please report any bugs and send
- comments to Don Messerli
