Read about it here: Win32 etc. http://www.aztecmuseum.ca/extras/bmp2shr.pdf Apple II http://www.aztecmuseum.ca/extras/PicSave.pdf Download it here: http://www.aztecmuseum.ca/extras/B2S.zip This download contains programs, source code, documentation, and disk images for creating Super Hi-Res Pictures, and for viewing and saving Super Hi-Res pictures on an Apple II GS, or on an Apple //e with a Carte Blanche, or an Apple //e or Apple II GS equipped with an Apple II VOC (Video Overlay Card), or in an Apple II GS emulator (like Kegs32). 1. BMP2SHR - converts BMP Files to PIC Files The BMP2SHR command line utility will convert Windows BMP files to Apple II SHR (Super High Resolution) Graphics Files of Apple II GS File Type $C1 Aux Type $0000. This utility converts from the following BMP file formats to Apple II SHR files: 2 Color (Monochrome) BMP Files 16 Color (VGA) BMP Files 256 Color BMP Files 24 bit BMP Files The BMP2SHR utility is provided with doucmentation, source code and 3 flavors of executable program(s): B2S16.EXE (MS-DOS) Built under 16-bit Microsoft C Version 8.00c B2S32.EXE (WIN32) Built under 32-bit Microsoft C Version 14.00 B2S.EXE (WIN32) Built under MinGW 5.1.4 (gcc) Windows Build environments and source code are provided with all the above. This includes the gcc (MinGW) build script. It should be straight-forward for those using Linux and other Unix-like OS's to build this under GCC but I am leaving that up to them. Additional utilities are provided for the Apple II as well. They are noted below. 2.PICSAVE - converts PNT Files to PIC Files The PICSAVE utility for ProDOS 8 loads Apple Preferred Format (APF) SHR (PNT) Files and saves them to SHR Screen (PIC) Files of Apple II GS File Type $C1 Aux Type $0000. PICSAVE also comes with 3 other programs: PICSHOW - a simple SHR Slideshow Viewer for SHR PIC Files PICLODE - a simple SHR File Viewer for PIC Files PNTLODE - a simple SHR File Viewer for PNT Files These programs are written in Aztec C for the Apple IIe and were cross-compiled in Windows XP. 3. Thanks to Charlie, Andy McFadden, Antoine, and others for all the good info that made this relatively straight-forward to put together. Please read the documentation, the source code, and run the programs for more information. Regards, Bill Buckels bbuckels@mts.net December, 2013

BMP2SHR now produces Brooks Format 3200 Color SHR Files from BMP files, in addition to what it did yesterday. When a 640 x 400 BMP file is converted to Brooks, a second 3200 Color SHR files is also produced suitable for loading to the VOC's auxiliary memory, and providing the VOC with a 320 x 400 x 3200 color effective display. I do not provide loaders for these yet, but decided I'd better get this part out of the way first. A Sample disk in 2mg format of brooks files converted by BMP2SHR is also included for anyone interested in such things. All the best, Bill
