Written by : Bill Buckels Email : bbuckels@mts.net Date Written : May 2008 Environment : AppleX Manx Aztec C65 Version 3.2b Windows XP Cross-development environment for PRODOS 8 I have made asbolutely no attempt to make this program compatible with any C compiler outside the Applex environment stated above. Purpose : Legacy Graphics Converter This program converts Apple IIe format Beagle Bros. and "Old PrintShop" and "New Printshop" Minipix to Apple II native mode raster image fragments used by the AppleX environment in Aztec-C programs. This format which I have dubbed the .RAG Image Format was developed by me around 1990. It is a variable size uncompressed format with a 2 byte header which provides the width of the image in bytes followed by the length in rasters and is designed for fast loading on the Apple II without the expanding of bytes that is inherent in using image fragments like Minipix which do not store their rasters in Apple II native mode. It also loads and resaves converted RAG files if in the Minipix size. This utility will also invert the video in the loaded Minipic or RAG before saving. The source code for this utility will also serve as an example minipix and RAG loader. Licence Agreement ----------------- All my work is copyrighted and belongs to me.
