After offering to mail this tiny, non-defective, non-processor stealing, IFF viewer my mailbox bulged with requests. It was posted to comp.binaries.amiga more than a week ago, but the moderator (doc) seems to be having trouble with his mailer. uShow did not get very far. Let's all hope for a working .binaries & .sources group soon. Until then: ----------------------------- uShow (microShow) version 1.0 - Copyright (c) 1987 Darrin Massena Usage: uShow [file name] To close picture, click in hidden upper-left close box or press any key. Click the invisible drag bar to 'de-sensitize' the close picture routine. While working on the latest, greatest Mantis Development creation, I came upon the need for extremely short IFF picture read routines. It occurred to me that we can always use a shorter "Show" utility, so I whipped together - "uShow (or microShow) the less-than 1K IFF show utility" uShow is about half the size of this document file. Yes, it's true! uShow has been tested to work with IFF pictures from DPaint, DPaint II, Aegis Images, DigiView, and Amiga Live. DPaint I/II brushes are also displayed. A few limitations were imposed on uShow to keep it smallest: 1) uShow handles all error conditions but does not report the errors back to you. If uShow cannot find your file or cannot allocate screen memory, it will simply return to you without displaying the picture. 2) uShow cannot show pictures larger than your screen size (about 700x420). 3) uShow does not need quotes (") around filenames with spaces in them. To display the file "Spaces In Name.pic", just type "uShow Spaces In Name.pic". For a copy (on Amiga 3.5" disk) of the assembly language source to uShow, along with a set of more general purpose (but equally short) assembly language IFF ILBM read routines in Manx Assembler format, just send a meager $15 to: Mantis Development attn: Darrin Massena P.O. Box 4001 Bellevue, WA 98008 uShow is NOT public domain, but is freely redistributable by anyone so long as no profit is made through the redistribution. Give uShow to all your friends, include it in all software collections, just don't do anything stupid like trying to sell it. Who'd pay for this anyway?
