| 3698.1 | Convert.exe | FROCKY::BALZER | Christian Balzer DTN:785-1029 | Fri Apr 20 1990 04:55 | 13 |
| If you or your friend have access to the Messy-DOS version of
DPaint-II, there's a program called convert that comes with it.
It can convert IFF-ILBM files to TIFF format, something that
Word 5.0 likes and probably WP, too.
Maybe FBM (Fuzzy Bitmaps) can create a suitable format for WP, I
dunno. It would be helpful, if you could tell us what kind of graphic
formats are handled by WP.
Regards,

Hi Christian,
Unfortunately I don't have access to the MS-Dos version of DpaintII,
I didn't even knew it exist. I taught DPaintII (or 3) was made solely
for Amiga.
As for TIFF graph format, I know WordPerfect5.0 does accept it.
The WP\graphcnv.exe used with the /h switch list the compatible format.
Like I mentioned before, It can convert TIFF, lotus123, Macintosh,
.PIC, DrHalo, PCpaint, PCbrush and few others less known. I can't
remember. However .GIF is not in the list, hence my problem.
The graphcnv program gives me a file format error.
Anybody have a program that can convert either .GIF or IFF to one of
the above mentionned format?
Is the convert.exe program mentioned by <CB> in the previous reply
be legaly uploaded?
Thanks again, Vince.
Thanks again, Vince.

Nah, convert.exe is a part of MS-DOS DPaint, so EA copyrights apply.

| 3698.4 | FBM is the ticket... | FROCKY::BALZER | Christian Balzer DTN:785-1029 | Wed Apr 25 1990 12:45 | 5 |

Oh BTW, I checked FBM, and yes, it does support the PCX format.
So go and get it...

| 3698.5 | Bad file somewhere. | MQOFS::LEDOUX | Reserved for Future Use | Mon Apr 30 1990 17:41 | 14 |
| Hi again <CB>
I tried the FRSOLD::AMIGA_BINARIES note 189 to 204 to get
FBM. (all 16 parts of them)
They SHAR OK, UU OK and give me a .ZOO OK, but on a list
I get about 25 files before getting a "zoo file corrupted".
I tried twice with the same result.
I assume that some file must be bad somewhere.
Anybody know where I can a good copy of FBM?
I really need that IBM graphic capability from IFF files.
Thanks in advance, Vince.

| FBM is on Fish disk #334, found at:
TAPE::USER2:[AMIGA.FISH.Z300]FF334.ZOO

| 3698.7 | Still looking. | MQOFS::LEDOUX | Reserved for Future Use | Fri May 04 1990 14:41 | 17 |
| I got FBM from FF disk 334 and it definitely doesn't do
what I want to do.
First: You need some kind of compiler (Manx or Lattice) to
"compile" some file named Makefile and other source
to get it to work.
Second: According to the docs, it can read PCX files but
cannot write them.
It says however that future release will write PCX as well
as TIFF.
I don't have Manx nor Lattice, I definitely won't spend
$300 for those just to get some graphics on the IBM.
Indeed I am still looking...
Vince.
