These are fantastic Downloading them now using a script on my A1200

Did you manage to download them and get them to work with Dpaint 4/5 etc or are the colour cycle pallet groups lost in the download process?

No, they're java script text files, and have to be converted. Counting_pine on the FreeBasic forum as written a simple program to display them natively, but they still have to be converted back to IFF. See here: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16119. Just scroll down to the CODE block.

The original IFF-files wanted!!!!!

Does anybody have them?

Nope, they're copirighted by various companies, and even the artist isn't allowed to publish them like that

Eh, has anyone even bothered to check out the FreeBasic program I've posted to? With that I get about 40% CPU time used for the task on my 667 Mhz Pentium 3, and it uses FreeBasics built-in 256 color mode (yes, in a window on a 32 bit desktop)...

Basically, there's no reason at all why this kind of simple thing can't be fast on a new peecees, with a properly written indexed color engine. Also, don't peecee GFX cards have a 256 color mode? Yes, they do! Plenty of people are still playing Starcraft Broodwar and Diablo 2 on brand new machines, so this video mode is certainly still in use. With that the CPU usage for this program drops to below one percent...

The problem is simply the browsers fault, it's not the new hardware, that would simply be ridiculous. I mean, you can have full speed, highres 3D be smooth, but this can't? Yeah, right...
