Conny Pettersson of Unit Seventeen proposed to extend the Degas format with <br />
PI4 and PI5 for TT resolutions in a text file accompaning the viewst program:<br />
<br />
For saving the pictures, I have extended the standard Degas-format PI0 to<br />
the TT-resolutions. Following is a description of the format I use:<br />
ST-Low TT-Low TT-Medium<br />
Extension PI0 PI4 PI5<br />
Resolution 1 word: $0000 1 word: $0007 1 word: $0004<br />
Colormap 16 word 256 word 16 word<br />
Bitmap 32000 bytes 153600 bytes 153600 bytes<br />
Total length 32034 bytes 154114 bytes 153634 bytes<br />
<br />
This format is not in wide spread use as datacompression on those huge screens <br />
really makes sence. Nevertheless various file-extension decriptions on the <br />
internet assign the extensions PI4, PI5 and PI6 to TT Degas resolutions.<br />
