Requirements:

AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition

Installation:

Just extract anywhere on your harddrive where you want it installed.

Usage:

To run the program just double-click its icon.

Once the program is running select the file you want to convert as "Source",

the file you want to write to as "Destination" and then select the type of

file (picture, sound, animation, or movie) as well as the destination file

format and then click the "Convert" button.

The currently supported destination formats are:

Type = picture: bmp, gif, ilbm, jpeg, png, tiff

Type = sound: 8svx, aiff, wav

Type = animation or movie: anim, cdxl, gifanim

The source format can be anything for which a suitable datatype of the

proper type is available; it doesn't have to be limited to one of the

destination formats listed above.

Source code:

The source code of the program is included under a BSD license.

Changes:

1.1 (13.1.2015) by Fredrik Wikstrom

- First released version.

1.2 (13.7.2023) changes by Mike Steed

- Added the ability to convert animation and movie formats, in support

of the new GIFANIM v. 54 datatype (ANIM and CDXL formats are supported

too, but those datatypes are currently unable to save files).

- Now sets the source type automatically based on the selected source

file.

- Error messages now appear in a requester, rather than in a console

window.

- Now copies the annotation data (if any) from the source to the

destination during a conversion, if the datatypes involved support

this (the GIFANIM datatype does).
