Announce: Super Hi-Res DEMOS for the GS in Aztec C now available

Show all headers | View raw

Super Hi-Res DEMOS for the GS in Aztec C are now available from the Aztec C 
website at the following link:

http://www.aztecmuseum.ca/SHR.zip

This zip file contains source code, working demo programs, documentation, 
and disk images for loading Super Hi-Res pictures on an Apple II GS. These 
programs have been tested in Kegs32 but not on a real GS.

These programs are written in Aztec C for the Apple IIe and were 
cross-compiled in Windows XP. But they will only run on a GS unless you have 
Charlie's modifications loaded into a Carte Blanche on your Apple IIe.

Please review the program source code and documents for more information, 
and run the programs from the disk images provided.

One of the demo programs loads raw SHR files, and the other loads SHR files 
in APF (Apple Preferred Format).

It is still my intention to someday write code in Aztec C to load the other 
SHR formats, as well as to write SHR vector graphics routines and other SHR 
library routines that work on the GS. But regardless of whether or not this 
happens, and whether or not I also write conversion utilities and so forth 
that work with SHR images, the two demo programs here should prove 
informative to those of you who are interested.

Thanks to Charlie and also to Andy McFadden for all the good info that made 
this demo relatively straight-forward to put together.
