Thanks To:
Kjell Cederfelth

---------------------------- WHAT IS THIS???? -------------------------

This is program for converting IFF picture to RAW data for using in
demos/games or were else you need a picture in pure bitmap data.
This is not the only iffconverter but i think it is one of the better ones.
I made this because the other converters was a pain to use, and if it's
a pain to use it, then it's CRAP!!.......
(guess witch converter i used to the convert the IFFTrasher logo :).. )
------------------------------- CHANGES ------------------------------------
*------------------------------- V0.961 -----------------------------------*
Relesed 930511
Changes since V0.96
Changed the filerequester size & position.
Added some error checks.
Fixed some BUGS.
*------------------------------- V0.975 -----------------------------------*
Relesed 9308??
Changes since V0.961
I have been real lazy, but this things is added.
!!!O.B.S Preference file is changed, so save a new one.!!!
1.
Added a cut funktion & a "ToolWindow" to the viewpic screen, press HELP
when you display the picture. You can change the resolution etc there.
Read Chapter 13 for more info.
2.
Press DEL button to remove/display Cross on the picture screen
3.
Always opens a screen in maximum size, so if the picture is 32x32
the screen will be 320x256. (doesn't work on hire,lace pictures YET)
But it will be 32x32 if you save it.
You can clip out a area bigger then the original picture and save it
with the "Save Brush" gadget that appers when you press HELP.
NOT! the gadget in the mainwindow!!!!
because the picture screen MUST be open!.
4.
Added a Zoom Gadget to the window.
5.
A new IFFTrasher logo. (got bored of the old one)
6.
A new option. "Add Word"
Adds a word(16pixels) on the rigth or the left side of the picture.
Needed when shifting data with the blitter to move a BOB horizontal.
(will proably change this so YOU can deside how many words to add)
7.
Now you can overwrite the picture you have loaded.
Was not possible before, because the file was "in use".
8.
Now IFFTrasher checks if a suffix allready is present, so you won't
get file names like this "pic.RAW.RAW" but you can get "pic.RAWB.RAW"
but who cares.
9.
You can type a name for the brush in the "Brush FileName" string gadget
if you dont want to use the picture name.
10.
FIXED (i hope) A HOLE BUNCH OF BUGS!!!!
And fixed the error handlig for ifftrasher's memory allocating
this was not working so good before.
NOTE:
It works on AGA pictures as long as you don't saves the colors in any way
but this is the next thing i will fix so don't kill yourself.

And leave a mess to REVENGER
(You can allways find the newest version of IFFTrasher on these boards....)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KNOWN BUGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you are clipping a area and the end position is 0,0 it wont mark the
area correctly.
Start the marking at 0,0 THEN i works, shall fix this later.
DONT have the Color Formate gadget set on Behind/Before Pic when you
load a RAW/RAWB picture that DONT have a color map attached to the rawdata
because if you do, the computer 9 times of 10 totally freaks out!!!
Not really a bug, but good to now.
I think i gonna add something to the file comment so ifftrasher knows were
the cmap is.
LIBS NEEDED.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-1-.Load Formate.
This is the picture formates that the converter can read.
You can select multiple files in the Filerequester.
If you do so, all the files will be converted and saved without
you pressed the "SAVE" gadget!! so make sure the setting are as you
want them.
1.1 IFF ILBM.
Reads the picture as a standard IFF file
(you can also read the first picture in a anim file with this.)
1.2 RAW
Reads a picture in ordinary raw (bitmap) formate.
If the picture was saved with IFFTrasher and the "Size Comment"
checkbox gadget was checked, then IFFTrasher will get the display
sizes of the picture from the filecomment.
If not, you will be asked for the sizes.
If the cmap lies behind/before the rawdata you haft to set the
"Color Formate" gadget on the right option!.
If you don't have the cmap with the rawdata you must have loaded a
picture with a cmap before this picture, if not it will be black!
(I will do somthing about that later.)
1.3 RAW BLITT
Reads a picture in raw blitt formate (InterLeaved).
See Chapt 1.2 for more info. (Above)
1.4 AUTO CHECK
If this option is selected ifftrasher will try to recognise the
picture formate with help of the file Suffix.
IFF pictures is recognised by the ILBM header in the
file.
It checks for .RAW & .RAWB in the file name to recognise the
raw formate, if you don't have a suffix you haft to use
RAW or RAW BLITT as load formate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2-.Save Formate.
The formate that the picture can be saved in is.

2.2 RAW
Saves the picture as ordinary raw, the bitplanes lies behind
eachother
Ex.
line1plane1,line2plane1
line1plane2,line2plane2
2.3 SPRITE 4
Saves a 4 colors sprite, The picture must be 16 pixels wide and
in 2 bitplanes.
