Art Utilities

A disk packed full of graphic utilities including a high resolution 24-pin and 9-pin clip-art printing program, a program for running Cyber animations, a sprite animation program and a program for playing .IFF format animation files.

The best program of the bunch is Cartoon - the sprite animation designer and player combination. The program enables Degas PI1 pictures to be imported and have sections defined as sprites. This means that you can design your sprites in a standard art package, save them as a Degas file and, using Cartoon, chop the sprites and save them as an animation file.

The program has no built-in facility for displaying animations but a separate player program is supplied along with source code in both C and assembler. All in all, this is an excellent small utility.
