- MakeMac v1.0
-
- Purpose:
- MakeMac will take the files created by UnSit v1.0 (.D and .R files) and
- join them together with a proper Mac file header so they can be used by
- PageStream, the font converter, and anything else that needs the data fork
- and resource fork together.
-
-
- How to use:
- 1) Unsit the Mac file. (on the amiga using UnSit)
- 2) From a Shell type "makemac" followed by the output file name (this is
- the name of the file to be created), the name of the .D file or if
- no .D was made enter "NONE", if a .R file was created enter the name
- of the file next, then press enter.
- 3) a copyright notice will appear on the screen followed by the lengths
- of the files you named (eg. data len = xxxxxxx).
- 4) That's all there is to it.
-
-
- Special:
- The Mac File Type is set to "PNTG" (which means it is a MacPaint format
- Painting file). The Mac Creator is set to "MPNT" (which means that the
- file was created by MacPaint). Using these defaults means no conversion
- or file editing will be neccessary on MacPaint pics to be used in
- PageStream. These two fields have no effect on the font converter (It
- looks for specific resources in the resource fork). The only time it will
- make a difference is if you are making a mac file from a mac esp file and
- then try to bring that eps image into PageStream. It will work ok, the
- only thing is that at the import requester two modules will be shown:
- the MACEPS and the MacPaint import modules. As long as you import it with
- the correct module (the MACEPS.import moldule) you will have no trouble.
- Going with the MacPaint module will probably crash the machine or give you
- an Out of Memory warning. These two fields can be changed using any
- file editing utility (like NewZap).

- ENJOY!

- PS: Some MacPaint files that have been UnSit'ed seem to have lost 128
- bytes off the end of the file. I do not know if this is a problem
- with UnSit or what - so beware! This is the only type of file I
- have noticed the loss occuring on.
