PD/!Spr2Jpeg/Documents/QuickGuide

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                      Guide to Sprite 2 Jpeg
                      ======================

You may have read the help file - if you haven't, then read it
before reading this. It explains a lot, but if you don't really
understand, then this is probably the easiest place to start.

Basically, you load Sprite 2 Jpeg, and drag image files onto
it. These might typically be Sprites, Jpegs, Clear, PCXs or
most anything. A standard save box pops up. Save the converted
image. You can select the type of image to save, if the
original was a Jpeg, from the pop-up menu at the bottom. And
that is pretty much that.

The options window allows you to change the advanced options,
which are explained in the help file. You can also save the
options etc. in the normal way from here.
