   BRUTAL DELUXE'S CONVERT 3200 & BRUTAL DELUXE'S LEMMINGS
 
   As demonstrated at KansasFest '98 by Martin Landhage, Brutal Deluxe's
   Convert 3200 graphics conversion program is an excellent, fast and
   very easy-to-use IIGS program that Martin uses to routinely convert
   Seattle FilmWorks digitized 35 mm photos into 3200 color mode Super
   Hi Res IIGS graphics!
 
   Under development for 2+ years, Convert 3200 was initially used by
   Brutal Deluxe as their in-house graphics conversion utility to help
   port graphics to all of their freeware games. Updated, optimized and
   now sporting a user-friendly and fun-to-use interface that is similar
   to that found in Brutal Deluxe's games, Convert 3200 is a simple to
   use program that contains amusing Easter Eggs and sophisticated
   machine language algorithms that makes it the fastest graphics
   conversion program ever released for the Apple IIGS.
 
   Convert 3200 is such a speed demon that it takes just 15 seconds or
   less to convert any of the supported graphic file formats to a IIGS
   Super Hi Res graphic format in 16, 256 or 3200 color mode.
 
   Convert 3200 can convert graphics from one format to another, with no
   regard to whether the original graphic was created on an Apple IIGS, a
   Mac or an IBM PC. It works with such common Apple IIGS graphic formats
   as Apple Preferred Format and PaintWorks Gold format, as well as the
   less common DYA 3200, PackBytes, French Formats (such as APP and NRL)
   and the Unpacked Screen Format. The true beauty of Convert 3200 is
   that it also works with foreign format graphics, such as Windows-OS/2
   BMP, Compuserve GIF, Amiga .IFF/ PC .LBM, Paintbrush PCX, Binary PC
   and several varieties of TIFF files. Convert 3200 even has the unique
   ability to save graphic files in the following formats: Apple
   Preferred, Windows BMP, Paintbrush PCX, TIFF, Binary PC and Print Shop
   GS.
 
   Convert 3200 is very flexible and easy to use. There is only one
   convert button and no complicated options; however, Convert 3200
   allows you to select your 320 * 200 area as you want, and it provides
   power users with the ability to modify RGB tones, remove some colors
   and it even comes with an automated script conversion mode. Best of
   all, its "Convert All" option allows you to convert dozens (or thousands)
   of graphics at once, in an unattended mode.
 
   Convert 3200 is currently available from Shareware Solutions II for
   the low price of $15, which includes postage to anywhere in the world.
   The complete Merlin 16+ source code is also available to owners of
   Convert 3200 for an additional $5.
 
   Convert 3200 is professional quality software that costs less than
   many shareware programs. It is not copy protected, and it is hard
   drive installable. In an effort to keep the pricing as low as
   possible, a complete and extensive documentation manual is supplied as
   a file on the disk.
 
   Convert 3200 requires a IIGS with at least 2 megabytes of RAM memory;
   4 megabytes of memory is recommended to convert large 1280 * 800
   graphics. Convert 3200 has been tested on Apple IIGS ROM 01 and ROM 03
   versions, and it requires System 6.0.1. Although not required, a hard
   disk drive and an accelerator card is recommended.
