BlitzC2P

Short:        Chunky-to-planar for Blitz, +new stuff
Author:       Various, and paul@stationone.demon.co.uk
Uploader:     paul stationone demon co uk
Type:         dev/basic
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

Details:   Here are a variety of chunky to planar routines for use in your Blitz
basic programs. All routines may be used in any freeware, shareware, licenceware
and commercialware. I did not write the c2p routines myself but I did all the
implementing into blitz code, example code, demo programs and documentation.

New in this release are a few extra demo programs that demonstrate background copy
and some other stuff, and also sourcecode to the start of a game containing
implemented c2p routines and some other code you might be interested in such as
display retargetting and some chunky copy/clearscreen routines.

I have added a second document (NewBits.Readme) which you should read through
first. It is additional to the basic BlitzC2P.Readme file. There have been minor
modifications to the c2p routines but no real performance increases over the last
release.

The archive is about 580k in size. The last release was about 70k. The reason for
this increase in data is mainly due to the game program and its graphics files.

The directory contents are as follows:
