Given you have Workbench and Extras 1.3, you just have to look into the
Basicdemos drawer: "It's in there" (nice citing) !!!
Explanation you find shortly in ReadMe, details in the programs
LoadACBM, LoadILBM-SaveACBM, and SaveILBM
Well, we have to admit, at least the LoadILBM routine IS SLOW.
But it works and you can convert your pictures to the ACBM format with
which you can use system routines that will let you Basic program look
just as fast as any C or assembly loader program. Simply impressing.
Try it and have fun.
