JPEG to IM
Carl,
HEX is a file editor program. When you move thru a file inside HEX, the
addresses displayed are in hexadecimal. Address 100 in HEX is actually
the 257th position in the file.
From what I hear on here, the Mac stuff stuck in front of the JPEG files
is 256 bytes in size. I have never seen a MAC file, and haven't played
with a Mac since back in '83! Gawd, it was slow.
HEX allows you to change the size of files, unlike the other file editor I
used to use, NewZap. HEX allows you to make room at the beginning and/or
end of a file to enlarge the file, or remove file contents at the
beginning and/or end of the file to reduce it's size.
Since the MacBinary stuff is 256 bytes long and at the beginning of the
file, you want to chop off (eliminate) the first 256 bytes of the file,
not zero them. So once you load the file into HEX, set the cursor to the
257th position, which is address 100 (in hexadecimal). Now the cursor is
set to where you want the file to start, so you go to the EDIT menu and
select START FROM CURSOR POSITION. Now you must go and select SAVE in the
PROJECT menu. That should be it!
Course, the deMacification program somebody mentioned here might be easier
grin>.
HEX should be available in AmigaTech.
