$VER: CMAP2Asm 1.0 (27.6.97) - Freeware

A little utility that can convert a FORM ILBM's CMAP chunk to assembler
source. It can convert the CMAP chunk for usage with both LoadRGB4() and
LoadRGB32() function calls. Defaults to LoadRGB32().

Purpose is to convert picture CMAP chunk so you can set colors accordingly
for your screen to suit picture.

If you need C source output (or any other source formats) please let me
know (send an email with needed format layout).


USAGE
-----

CMAP2Asm <IFF file> <asm source file> [options]


<IFF file>        - path and name on a FORM/ILBM picture file. Note that
                    24-bits picture doesn't have CMAP chunks so the program
                    will return error on those as well as none FORM/ILBM
                    picture files.


<asm source file> - path and filename on the output source file. Ready to be
                    included in your assembler source.

Options:

  -4 = format asm source for LoadRGB4().
       Default format of asm table is for use with LoadRGB32()

  -b = output in binary format instead of source (still compatible with
       the LoadRGBx() functions, but you need to 'incbin' them instead of
       'include' or paste in source).


Example usage:
--------------

	LibBase	graphics

	move.l	Viewport(pc),a0
	lea	CMap(pc),a1
	Call	LoadRGB32

	[...]

CMap:	.... [the table we got from CMAP2Asm]


FUTURE (depends on respons)
---------------------------

- Output switch for C/Basic/+++ source
