Recommended: VGA Monitor 80386 Processor 1 MB RAM (If you cannot meet the above requirements, how are you running DN3D?) ---------- CART.EXE USAGE: CART This program will combine the contents of files TILES000.ART to TILES014.ART into a single file named IMAGE000.ART totalling 4096 tiles (many blank). The files TILES000.ART to TILES014.ART must be in the working directory. It runs almost at optimum copying speed, creating IMAGE000.ART, a 14MB or so file. It will overwrite any existing file named IMAGE000.ART. ---------- RART.EXE USAGE RART This program will renumber the tiles in given a starting tiles number, and write the changes to . If exists, it will overwrite it. Not much error checking is performed. Example of usage: RART TILES000.ART ATEST000.ART ---------- VART.EXE USAGE VART This program views .ART image files. It will only display images in the 320x200 area. Images whose raw data exceeds 64000 bytes will be truncated at the 64000 byte mark. It is probably the fastest viewer for .ART files now available. It uses the default DN3D pallette and also the default names in NAMES.H. Use and to go to the previous and next image respectively. Use to go to a specific tile number. It only views the image in the current .ART file. exits. ---------- All comments, bugs, etc. may be e-mailed to the following address.
