!ImageBank/Versions

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.

========

0.20 First internal release

0.21 Bug fixes
 - Library fix, for filetype changing in sprite/clear box.
 - remove RAM xfer for sprite as it is confusing and made no performance gain.

0.25 Release 1 - April 1993
 - Integrated JPEG code into main application, removed djpeg.
 - Optimised and grey sprite save options added.
 - RAM xfer now supported again (on saving). Still slower than saving via
   a file unless of course you don't have a hard disc.
 - slight change to catalogue file (uncompressed size not saved as it can be
   calculated from image dimensions).
 - fixed bug: When replacing image old sprite was not being removed from catalogue.
 - fixed problems with bad string/filename when overwriting.
 - cleaned up some help messages. 
 - Name changed to ImageBank.
 - Total size added to browser title bar.
 - font resizing code added.
 - option for no fancy fonts added.

0.26 Bug fix
 - shows 24 bit size in header rather than 8 bit size.

0.30 Development - December 1993
 - added support for JPEG compression from sprite or clear.
 - added display viewer when double-clicking on item.
 - changed to separate save boxes and separate sprite type menu 
 - support for new format sprites and old-format 16 bit sprites (in display window only).

0.40 Development - January 1994
 - multiple browser windows.
 - reorganised disc structure and naming scheme.
 - JPEG decompression by dropping on iconbar.
 - new JPEG sprites taken from ChangeFSI.
 - iconbar choices menu for things you previously had to edit disc file for.
