PicPack ready to download

Have you ever wished you had a tool that would let you include any image file into your program as hex data, fully compressed? It makes it really easy to post code to the forum without making people download an image to run your code. If so, download PicPack. Here's what it does:

- Takes any image and compresses it if needed
- Creates a super-compact data section with the Hex data values
- Includes all code necessary to catch an image from the data
- Saves it all in one file named "Temp.pbi" which you can paste to your program
- Catches an image called img0 from the data for you, it's ready to use!

Get it here: https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewto ... 76&start=9

I was at least a couple hours writing this, which means:

a) It probably hasn't got any bugs... :lol:
b) You shouldn't expect it to be as good as ts-soft's PureBin2Data (mine just does pictures)

-Comes with a bulletproof license agreement... :wink:

Hi,

I don't distribute libraries like this utility in machine code any more. The learning opportunity for less-experienced coders is just too valuable to ignore and so you are welcome to this one in source form:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26376&start=9

This post contains my original code tweaked by WillamL to run on MacOS too so it's the best version currently.

Some lead pellets should do, but if Fangles has started howling at the moon lately you might want to bring some silver.
