- GEOS2TGA 1.0
- ------------
-
- GEOS2TGA is a public domain program that was designed to work in
- conjunction with PICLAB to provide a quick and simple way to port
- Commodore geoPaint images into the world of MS-DOS.
-
- GEOS2TGA will convert any geoPaint image into a color-mapped Targa
- file. From here the image can be converted into GIF using PICLAB
- (PICLAB is an excellent freeware program that is available on CompuServe
- in the PICS forum) or any other true Targa conversion program.
-
- It is important to note that if you are copying geoPaint images
- from a Commodore machine yourself, you must first convert them into a
- standard Commodore SEQ or PRG file using Berkeley Softworks' CONVERT
- program. If you are downloading geoPaint images from a BBS, you don't
- need to worry about this because it will already have been done for you.
-
- To use TGA2GEOS, just type "GEOS2TGA <filename>" where <filename>
- is the name of the image you want to convert. If you do not specify an
- extension, GEOS2TGA will assume that the filename ends in ".SEQ".
-
- To convert the TGA files to GIF with PICLAB, call up PICLAB by
- typing "PL" on the DOS command line. At the piclab command prompts,
- type "TLOAD <filename>", then "GSAVE <filename>", and finally "EXIT" to
- exit PICLAB. The image has now been converted to GIF.
