Is there a process or a program to allow conversion of Windows .bmp wallpaper patterns to AmigaDos 2.01 workbench patterns? I cam up with a couple of nice PBS orinented wallpaper patterns for our Windows machines at work, and would like to use them on the A2000 on which our Toaster is running, and of course since we are running the Toaster we can't run NickPrefs. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"

ADPro will convert .bmp pictures to IFF format. If you do not have ADPro, I will convert the picture for you, via US Mail. Let me know if that is what you wnat and I'll E-Mail you my address. Jim R. Ollick on a Warped 4000/040/40 Using AP 1.75 from Bergenfield, NJ

I have programs to convert .bmps to IFFs, so that is no problem. The problem is that DOS 2.01 doesn't accept straight IFFs as WB patterns. -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"

I forgot that, I've been using 3.0/1 since it came out. I used to display a picture as a WB backdrop, however, it does eat up some chip ram (I use a hi-res WB) and have since gone back to the gray screen. Jim R. Ollick on a Warped 4000/040/40 Using AP 1.77 from Bergenfield, NJ

You can always upgrade your OS to 3.1 and get rid of NickPrefs as the same wallpaper functions are built into the OS. And then you can download the PCX and BMP datatypes which will allow this program and all other datatype aware utilites/programs to read these file formats in their native form. -Jonathan MAC Quadra 900 and 486DX emulation on Amiga.
