              PCHROME: A PIXEL TWINS AMIGA BASHER!

     Are you fed up with all those Amiga owners boasting about 
their fabbo graphics? Well be fed up no more. Once again the 
Pixel Twins come to the rescue with PCHROME and PSLIDE.

     Here at Pixel Productions DML and myself(Nod) have put 
togeher this little goody for all ST/E owners.

     You should have: PCHROME.TXT this text file.
                      PCHROME_.PRG the picture tranfer prog
                      PSLIDE.PRG a slideshow prog
and a couple of examples that we did earlier in best Blue Peter 
fashion. And why not?

     Load PCHROME and make your selection. If you get stuck, then 
select HELP from the menu screen. To save your converted picture 
you need to press RETURN. It will now be saved as either a 
Spectrum 512 SPU file, or a PCHROME PCS file for use with the 
PSLIDE slideshow. 

     Now, if you have VIDI-CHROME and better still VIDI-RGB, you 
can get digifying lots of lovely pics in 4096 colours. (Don't 
forget to save the R, G and B files to get 4096 colours.)
     
     If you have QRT, you can have lovely raytraced piccies in up 
to 32,000 colours (on an STE)!!

     Of course, if you're boring, you could just port a few IFF 
pics over from the Amiga and transfer them. But it wouldn't be 
the same really would it?

     PSLIDE can also show TN1, PC1 picture files. The function 
keys change the speed while the space bar freezes on the current 
picture. Pressing RETURN will start the show once again, and 
pressing the escape key will quit.

     Coming soon. PCHROME with GIF to PCS conversion. (That's if 
the Highlander pulls his finger out and sends us the info that we 
need to do it!)

     PCHROME.PRG and PSLIDE are in the public domain. Let us know 
if you like it. 

The source code is available for a reasonable sum (the address is 
in the help section of PCHROME).

     Have fun, and make those Amiga owners cry.

     Byeeee
