Have you got some Mac pictures you want to use in your game? Yes: Have I got a tool for you. mac_to_rad will convert 3 different kinds of Mac pictures to RAD format: > color pictures produced by PixelPaint, one of the greatest paint tools on this planet. It can convert a file with up to 256 colors down to 16 colors. > grey scale scanned pictures > MacPaint (1 bit deep) format black/white pictures. It's easy to use. Practically all you need to know is the name of the file you want to convert. To learn more about mac_to_rad, print charm$userdisk:[theurer.mac]mac_to_rad.doc No: Why would anybody want to use Mac pictures? A few reasons: > better looking text: there's hundreds of fonts in MacPaint format > need pictures scanned in & don't want to trace them: the scan conversion process (on the Dest scanner in Pubs) takes about 10 minutes. It works PERFECTLY with line drawings. It does 16 level grey scales also. > a number of superior paint tools are available on the Mac: color PixelPaint will blow your socks off.
