Episode 60 - Bringing JPEG images into the Amiga -
This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am importing JPEG images into my Amiga 1000 and converting them into HAM 6 images, and then creating a presentation with Amigavision. All of the photos were taken during the Quarantine right in my yard. Come join me and learn more about getting JPG files into your Amiga!

Episode 59 - Using PDF files on the Amiga
This week on 10MARC I am covering several clever ways to open up PDF files on your Amiga. Be aware that in order to really do this you will need an AGA Amiga or Vampirized A500/600, or a Big Box Amiga with an RTG card. There just is not a really good ECS PDF reader...
Program information:
Download Ghostscript here:
www.whoosh777.com
Download EasyGS from Amigakit:
https://amigakit.amiga.store/easygs/easygs.lha
Get GSGui .38 right here...
http://aminet.net/package/text/dtp/GSGui_68k
Download RNOPDF for your RTG System:
http://jpv.wmhost.com/jpv_software/RNOPDF/
Want to try APDF for your ECS machine? Don't say I did not warn you...
http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/Apdf_common
and don't forget that there are three files you need to download to use APDF. Take a peek at the instruction on the above link.
