cPGM.datatype and source-code V40.2 (5.9.96)
(C) 1996 by Andreas R. Kleinert. All rights reserved.
---
This small sample datatype source code demonstrates, how to completely
write an Amiga OS 3 datatype without any assembler stubs
or compiler/linker tricks in PURE C source code.
You may e.g. use this example source code to write more portable
Amiga OS 3 datatypes to allow easier porting of these
to other Amiga OS-derived operating systems, or the native
OS of an upcoming PowerPC Amiga.
Translate your 68k-assembler datatype startup-codes smartly
to C by simply using this source-code as an advice how to do it.
As a common case, a datatype of class picture, supporting
PNM-PGM (P5) was used as an example.
For testing this datatype, simply use a tool from the NetPBM package
(or maybe for example a tool supporting superview.library) and
save a graphics in the binary PGM format (P5 of the PNM series).
Then install this datatype and try loading this file via MultiView.
Should work fine.

Feel free to use this source for own projects.
It is allowed to be spread and distributed anywhere, as far
as my consent is concerned.
Amiga Technologies, or the current owner of the technologie,
is allowed to always put this source on their newest
Developer CD-ROM.
Thanks and credits will always be appreciated - for example,
you MAY, but NEED NOT:
give me credits in your program's docs, send me keyfiles for
your programs using the library, and so on.
But that's simply voluntarily.
This work was only roughly inspired by David Junod's original
example source codes for datatypes.
