SUBJECT:
--------
Well, this is another program written because I needed it.
Manipulating hires interlaced 16 colors pictures on my old A500 with 512k
of Chip ram with a paint program was really impossible. More precisely, I
had to resize a 511×511 picture into a 640×511 one. Considering that CHIP
ram is only necessary when displaying the picture, I decided to write a
simple program that could rescale horizontally a picture, for which my
2.5MB fast ram should be large enough. So Rescale was born.
USAGE:
------
The program is used ONLY form the CLI by giving it the names of the
source and destination files, and the number of pixels per row for the
destination file. The source file must be an UNCOMPRESSED IFF ILBM file
(just like one output by ITex2IFF (that's why I wrote this program (this
stupid PC doesn't have a good resolution ! (How many parenthesis do I have
to close ?)))). Although I have not tried it, I guess it won't work with
HAM pictures.
The program will only work under Kickstart 2.04 or newer, and
requires errormsg.library V1.0+ and iffparse.library to run.
errormsg.library is copyright 1994 by myself, you can find it in PD
libraries (it is FREEWARE).
