I have just completed a PPS utility to compress unwanted (duplicate) stamps out of a set of stamps. The utility is called COMPRESS (presently located in [BABCOCK.PPS]) and takes as input a .INT file (generated by FXL's GP program). The stamp size (in multiple of 4 pixels) is also specified. The utility creates a new, smaller .INT file (how small depends on the reduction in stamps) and a .MAC file containing a translation table between the old stamps and the new stamps. See the file [BABCOCK.PPS]COMPRESS.DOC for further information. I have also modified GP to accept a stamp size. This allows GP to do both row-oriented (playfield stamps) and column-oriented (mo stamps) conversions for any square stamp (multiple of 4 pixels). This version of GP can also be found in [BABCOCK.PPS]. To see the result of these new utilities, drop by the Garfield lab (Joe's Bar 'N Grill), or see me. edb
