Graphical File Viewer v2.01 bye Jare/Iguana
Views a file in mode 13h. Useful for finding graphic data, etc.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
I wrote this little utility for my own use, but now it looks
like someone else might find it useful too, so it gets released.
As usual, the only warranty for this software is that I tell you
I use it without concern, but you will run it at your own risk
and I won't be responsible for anything that might happen to you
or your data (or anybody else for that matter).
[ ...Other disclaimers omitted for brevity, but assumed... ]
The program and its source are released to the public domain
and thus can be freely distributed in any form. If you like it,
it would be kind to remember the name of the author, ok?
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
Usage: GFV <file.ext> [palette file]
If not given, palette is set to 64 shades of Gray,
then Red, Green and Blue.
A palette file is just a raw 768 byte file with 256 RGB
byte triplets. What did you expect? :-)
────────────
Browse with movement keys.
These are the arrow keys, PgUp and PgDown, Home and End. Try
also the numeric keypad, it should work. You can start moving
before the screen is completely drawn. 'Space' redraws the
screen, just in case you press the wrong key.
────────────
'<', '>' & '5' - set horizontal shift.
This is the offset, in the source file, beetween any shown
pixel and the one directly below. Measured in 'step' units.
────────────
'-' & '+' - change byte step in file (for word data etc).
This is the offset beetween a pixel and the next. Less used than
the 'shift' value, but useful anyway.
────────────
'O' - get/set new file offset.
This is the absolute position of the pixel at the top left of the
screen in the source file.
────────────
'S' - save a portion of the file to GFVDUMP.BIN.
Saves the data from the current position (see 'G'). The byte step
is not taken into account by now (didn't need it).
'5', 'O' and 'S' will take you to a prompt. Usually, just pressing
RETURN will leave things as they are, or else answering '0' should
also do the job.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
The source is pure shit, but I can live with that. This should have
a palette editor, GIF writer, and many other things, but I'm not in
the mood. ;-) Use the Image Alchemy, Animator and DPaint instead.
BTW, to compile this you must have Borland's Objects.Tpu at hand.
Quick greets to all other Iguana members, alpha, Avatar, Gore, PSI,
Tran, White Shadow, the Egerter brothers, CyberStrike, Luis Crespo,
Ulrik, Lord Logics, Phil Carlisle, the Ascanio Brothers, Capt. Bit;
and groups Dust, Triton, Silents, EMF, <odeNation and Postumum. And
everyone else I haven't got the name right now in my mind feel like
you were here.
