This datatype handles pictures in the native Apple color-format written by
programs like Apple Color Quickdraw.
Pictures with 256 colors and 16.7M colors are supported.
Only bitmapped pictures are supported. Some of the drawing commands are
skipped in order to generate a picture. If you have a picture that
doesn't seem to be displayed correct then contact me.
NOTE!! Separate datatypes for the black and white (only) MacPaint pictures
can be found on Aminet.
Because of an incomplete identifier for MacPaint pictures, done by
Commodore, which (wrongly) recognize MacPICT2 files as MacPaint files a
replacement function is included. Also included are some test pictures
for the MacPaint datatype (NOT included), which use the extension ".macp".
