If you have a use for this application, and you have a file format that you would like it to support, please send a complete and precise definition of the format and a small binhexed sample to me at the INTERNET address below. I can use formats for Besides various product specific formats it would be nice if your application could interpret the PICT-file formats used by Apple and other companies' products. These products use a few new PICT opcodes besides those in IM-V for direct RGB-values in each pixel instead of using colour lookup tables. Lately I have seen several requests for information from Apple on the new 32-bit QD supported PICT formats, but I haven't seen any answers indicating how to get this information.
