Short:        A C Language Planar to Chunky function by PJ.
Author:       Paymaan Jafari (payman@ctools.pp.se)
Uploader:     Paymaan Jafari (payman ctools pp se)
Type:         dev/c
Requires:     Amiga!!!, No No! Any computer, It is ANSI!
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

Long:

   For  My  OCR  project,  I  have  been  required  a C function to convert
bitplanes data to a chunky one.  So I wrote this function.  The Algorith is
simple and because of such an algorithm, The program can't be quick.

   AmigaOS  graphics.library  has  some  alike functions like ReadPixel#?()
functions,  but  they all need a RastPort other than a bitmap.  My function
just  needs  the  BitMap.Planes  address  and  converts the data using that
address.

-- How to use:
  ------------

   Include the .c and .h files of this archive (except the test.c) in
your program and use the function.

-- To Do:
  -------

 - New algorithms, More Speed!!!

 - An assembly version.

 - Your move! Any idea?

-- DISCLAIMER:
  ------------
  As  a programmer I have some requests, You'r free to do whatever you want
but I don't like my written program to be used in some special categories.

  1) Please don't use this program in any work related to WAR, Making Guns
     Bio/MicroBialogical  warcrafts  and/or Athomic,  Neutronical Bombs Or
     even transfering their plans and maps.

  2) Please don't use it for transferring Sexual materials, except if it is
     about  your  own  partner  (Wife,  Husband).  See, I am an open-minded
     person but I don't beleive that open sex is of being mind open.

  3) Nothing against GOD, Humanity, Earth, Peace, and love.
