Sample GEM (IMG) images wanted
« on: September 14, 2003, 12:59:32 PM »
Hi,

I'm writing a datatype for GEM (IMG) images as used on the Atari ST and, to a lesser extent, the PC. But it's amazingly difficult to find examples of these files on the net, so I'm wondering if anyone here can help me out. I already have a lot of monochrome/bilevel images, but if you have any colour images, could you please contact me at caffer_at_cs.ucc.ie

Thanks,
Neil Cafferkey

Thanks, I did download that or something similar, and it had some samples, but they're not the type I'm looking for. They have a fixed 16-colour palette (EGA) whereas the Atari images have a variable palette like IFFs (there are also 16- and 24-bit images without a palette). The most likely source on the PC side is Ventura Publisher 4, which I think uses one of the Atari subformats for its clipart.

Thank you both. I was hoping to avoid setting up an Atari environment, but I might have no option.
