ILBM to RAW converter, by T.Young.
----------------------------------
This program can only be run from CLI.
Usage: ILBM>RAW <Source> <Destination> [M]
Converts any size ILBM picture or brush file to a file containing
the equivalent set of RAW bitplanes. These bitplanes can be included
directly into a Devpac source file using the INCBIN psuedo-op.
The [M] produces an extra `Mask' bitplane at the end of the
file. The bits in this bitplane are set to 1 if the result of the
other bitplanes is a non-transparent colour, i.e. non-zero. This
bitplane is used by programmers when blitting an image onto the
screen, for example, so that the transparent colour does not effect
the background. It is also used in determining whether a collision
has occurred.
Example: ILBM>RAW Background.IFF Background.RAW m
Generates a raw file called Background.RAW from the file
Background.IFF, including a mask plane at the end of the file.
IFF concatenation files are recognised, the first FORM in the
concatenation being used. If ILBM>RAW cannot open the DOS library,
it cannot give you an error message, so it responds with a red flash
and exits.
