Environment  : Apple33 Manx Aztec C65 Version 3.2b
Windows XP Cross-development environment for DOS33

I have made absolutely no attempt to make this program
compatible with any C compiler outside the Apple33
environment stated above.

Purpose      : Legacy Graphics Converter

This program converts Apple IIe format Beagle Bros. and
"Old PrintShop" and "New PrintShop" Minipix to Apple II
native mode raster image fragments used by the Apple33
environment in Aztec-C programs.

This format which I have dubbed the .RAG Image Format was
developed by me around 1990. It is a variable size
uncompressed format with a 2 byte header which provides
the width of the image in bytes followed by the length in
rasters and is designed for fast loading on the Apple II
without the expanding of bytes that is inherent in using
image fragments like Minipix which do not store their
rasters in Apple II native mode.

It also loads and resaves converted RAG files if in the
Minipix size.

This utility will also invert the video in the loaded
Minipic or RAG before saving.

The source code for this utility will also serve as
an example minipix and RAG loader.

The Apple ][ Minipix Format

When The Print Shop first appeared on The Apple ][, the
only type of graphics it used were small 4 sector DOS3.3
files, called minipix. Because the range of them built
into The Print Shop® was limited, people drew their own,
using the print Shop Graphic Editor, and soon these
little 88x52 pictures were everywhere. There were disks
and disks, just packed with them. The storage format was
quite simple, basically just a bit mapped image, with
every 11 bytes of the file mapping to one line of 88 dots
on the screen. An extra 4 filler bytes were tacked on the
end of each mini-graphic file. Each file held only 1
mini-graphic. 52 lines x 8 bytes + 4 = 576 bytes. Now
when "The New Print Shop" came along, you could convert
these little graphics to the new format. It turns out
that all that was done to each graphic to convert it, was
a small header was placed at the start, and the 4 filler
bytes were dropped from the end, and so 576 byte graphics
became 605 byte "NPS" compatible graphics.
