- This directory contains a disk-based library designed to read/write IFF
- files. There are examples in C, assembly, and Basic for using this library.
- In order to use the examples, you must copy the ilbm.library and
- requester.library files to your boot disk's libs drawer. You can do this
- from the CLI, or from WB using the CopyLib program. Click on the CopyLib icon,
- and if the requester appears, then the requester library has been copied.
- Now select the ilbm.library, and click on "OK". Close the window to exit
- the program.
- The Basic example needs the requester.bmap and ilbm.bmap files copied to
- your current directory.
- The examples use the requester.library. This is a file selection requester
- with many features. The necessary docs for developers are on Fish #203.
- The StartUp code included on that disc had a bug in it. Use the StartUp code
- included here as a replacement.
- All the necessary docs for the ilbm.library are in this directory.
-
- In addition, there are a few files of interest to non-developers.
-
- ANIMInfo - Can display information about any ILBM or ANIM file such as size,
- depth, number of colors, screen display mode, etc.
-
- ANIMInfo filename
-
- ShowPic - An ILBM viewer like CBM's display. Can cycle colors by pressing
- the TAB key. This program can be made resident. Displays the
- image until the user clicks the left mouse button. An additional
- argument from the CLI can specify a number of seconds to display
- the image. Written in assembly for small size.
-
- ShowPic filename [seconds]
-
- WorkBench users should click on the ShowPic icon and the icon for
- the picture to be displayed, or change the Tool name to ShowPic
- using the Info menu item on WorkBench.
-
- I would appreciate any comments/suggestions/bug reports
