FYEO2 v2.05e (2004/03/05)

Précis

FYEO2 can load/convert:

• GIF (1-8bpp, GIF87 and GIF89; except 'animated' GIFs, where the first frame will be shown)
   
  
• JPEG (BASELINE - 8bpp monochrome and 24bpp colour)
• JPEG (PROGRESSIVE - with the jpegtran utility, if present)
   
  
• BMP - Windows BMP files (1,4,8,24bpp)
   
  
• Targa
   
  
• PPM

Ma petite histoire

Between March and July 1998, FYEO2 was updated by Jérôme Matthevet to better support newer WIMP features, and a number of bug fixes.

In late January, I (Rick Murray) took on FYEO2. The primary aim, for me, was to make the application 26/32 neutral so that it may run natively under newer (fully '32bit') versions of RISC OS. Additionally, I was getting sick of those 'unsupported SOF marker' errors with progressive JPEGs. And, finally, I was working with a number of BMPs - and ChangeFSI is dead slow at converting them. So all of this happened to FYEO2!

Which brings us to what movies like to caption as "Present Day"...

This is the website of the previous FYEO2 maintainer, from where you may download version 2.05 (i.e. without my hacks). The v2.05 source is also available from here.

Nouveau!

I have also been sent an updated set of templates (more style-guide compliant) which I'll include in the next official release.

Tu vois ce que je veux dire?

FYEO2 2.05e download
fyeo205e.zip (107K)	Version 2.05eß 2004/03/06	The latest version of FYEO2.
This software requires RISC OS running on the ARM processor. If your computer is different, don't bother downloading this software!

FYEO2 examples download
examples.zip (592K)	Examples	The example image (the one of Alyson Hannigan wearing the blue jumper - see the montage above) in a variety of different formats: BMP 1bpp, 2bpp, 4bpp, 8bpp, 24bpp; also 8bpp OS/2 (OS/2 unsupported) GIF 1bpp, 2bpp, 3bpp, 4bpp, 5bpp, 6bpp, 7bpp, 8bpp, 8bpp interlaced JPEG 8bpp mono and 24bpp colour PPM 24bpp colour Other example BMPs, one to demonstrate a decode failure, one RLE compressed (RLE unsupported), and two others. Includes a text describing what each image type is.
These images are not in any RISC OS native format, so you may download them to test other software if you so desire...

FYEO2 source code download
fyeo205es.zip (168K)	Source for version 2.05eß 2004/03/06	As FYEO2 is Open Source, I am obliged to make the sources available. Please note that I plan to tinker with FYEO2, and I am not on-line often enough to keep the sources up to date... If you plan to do any work with FYEO2, please email me so we can be sure you have the latest copy of the sources...
This source is in C and ARM assembler, with a MakeFile for Norcroft C/C++. Please be aware that things I have modified will probably not compile on older compilers, as I tend to use C++ style comments, and also in-line variable definitions, as is provided by ISO 9899:1990. The assembler code has been written with the expectation of assembly under a 26/32 neutral version of APCS, so you will need to re-insert flag restoration if you plan to compile FYEO2 to be 26-bit only - though I strongly advise against this, for obvious reasons. Finally, to aid you, the majority of my modifications are marked with a comment containing the text "Rick", and usually a date also, such as:   // BMP added by Rick, 2004/02/25

jpegtran download
jpegtran.zip (29K)	jpegtran v6a 1996/02/07	I don't recall where I got this utility. It has been in my Library directory for ages! If you do not already have a copy of jpegtran, download this and place it in your Run$Path - this will usually be '!Boot.Library'. Then, when FYEO2 encounters a 'progressive' JPEG, it will be able to handle it.   When run in verbose mode, the first few lines of output read: Independent JPEG Group's JPEGTRAN, version 6a 7-Feb-96 Copyright (C) 1996, Thomas G. Lane Note that this software is unlikely to be 32bit safe, given its age.
This software requires RISC OS running on the ARM processor. If your computer is different, don't bother downloading this software!
