BTOE Test Version                                 1995-05-05

Archive includes:
BTOEENG.TXT document file(this)
BTOEJPN.TXT original document file(old, so my e-mail address is incorrect)
BTOE.EXE    BMP->EVA1 converter
SAMPLE.LST  sample LIST file, which BTOE.EXE uses.
and additional files are:
WTOP.EXE    WAV->PCM converter
BTOE.C      source of BTOE.EXE
WTOP.C      source of WTOP.EXE

Description of functions:
  BTOE converts 192*184 monochrome BMP files to EVA1 format file.
  EVA1 format is old and uncompressed, but can play by EVA.EXE(*1).

(*1) EVA Version 2.31, 95-01-23

How to use:
  1.Prepare 192(Width)*184(Height) monochrome BMP files.
  2.Edit LIST file(please refer sample.lst) to define BMP file order.
  3.Use BTOE as follows:
btoe <list file> <output file> <frame rate> [option]
where:
    <list file>: LIST file which defines BMP file order
  <output file>: output EVA1 format file name
   <frame rate>: frames per second
       [option]: from -0(dark) to -3(bright)  default=-1
example:
btoe kukuri.lst kukuri.eva 10 -0

  Then EVA1 file is created. But this file does not include sound data then
 you can add sound as following steps (but tools for this steps includes
 another person's tools ):

  4.Use EVACV.EXE(*2) from EVA1 -> EVA2 format.(for compress)
 (5.Prepare WAV file and use WTOP.EXE from WAV to PCM)
  6.Use EVA4TO5.EXE(*3) to combine PCM and EVA2

details:
  Hello! My nickname is pollyannna(but I am Male :-)).
  I bought HP200LX last week, and found EVA(by ł܎ HCA02131). That
 was very interesting.
  So I want to create EVA data by myself, but my machine can not capture AVI
 file but only snapshot images.
  Then I can not make use of AVItoEVA(by R.,Ichiro MXE04440 *4).

(*4) latest version is:
 509  MXE04440 96/04/29   47476  289 B A2E02A  .LZH a2e AVI to EVA ver. 0.2A

  Unfortunately if you are in the same difficulty, please use my tool.

Notice:
  Free to use, include source files.
  But with no guarantee, I do not have any responsibility for your damage
 by this tools and sources.

Notes:
  I wonder if who use this strange tool, because normal machines can capture
 AVI files.
  Further, size of images are fixed, without sound, not compressed...
