- HamLab 1.1 DEMO 20 Feburary 1991
- (c) Copyright 1990,1991 J. Edward Hanway
-
- Permission is hereby granted to redistribute the demo
- version of HamLab, provided that the distribution is
- complete and unmodified.
-
- There is no warranty on this program. I disclaim any
- responsibility for any damages that it may cause,
- direct or coincidental.
-
- HamLab is an interactive program which converts images from various file
- formats to Amiga HAM and SHAM mode pictures. The pictures can be displayed
- (and panned on a "virtual screen" if necessary) and saved in IFF format.
-
- Translation filters are provided for GIF, TIFF, Atari ST Spectrum 512, MTV,
- QRT/DKBTrace, PBMPLUS, and Sun Raster files. New filters can be added
- simply by adding a line to a configuration file.
-
- HamLab uses 24-bit RGB for nearly all intermediate calculations. It has
- fast scaling, cropping, and color response controls, and includes six
- dithering options which significantly improve the quality of some images.
-
- Runs under either AmigaDOS 2.0 or 1.3 + ARP. For use in tight memory
- situations, the PIPE: device (included with AmigaDOS) is recommended.
-
- For the best response time, it helps to have a lot of memory and/or a hard
- disk, but HamLab has configurable options which make it usable on small
- systems, too. It is possible to convert, but not display at the same time,
- most 640x480 images on a 1 MEG system at full size, or to scale them to
- 320x400 and display them, too. (All without using disk files for temporary
- storage.)
-
- *** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
-
- This archive is a demo version. Unlike some demos, I wanted this one to
- be somewhat useful. The only "crippled" feature is that images larger than
- 512 pixels wide or tall will be cut off. Otherwise, all features including
- save are fully implemented.
-
