BMP also opens a channel to read the filenames from the picture
directory with DJ_OPEN_DIR.
Is this program on the web somewhere - preferrably with sources??
Yes - BMP.OBJ (a Windows BMP to QL graphics converter) is on the graphics
page on my website (I am the author). The version on there is the one BEFORE
Bob Spelten modified some of the code. I have not yet had time to put the
new version on.
DJ_OPEN_DIR is a DJ Toolkit function to open a channel to a directory, like
TK2's FOP_DIR. DJToolkit is at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/tk/index.html
The routine referred to is essentially the same as:
chan = FOP_DIR(filename$)
directory_name$ = FNAME$(#chan)
CLOSE #chan
a routine used to extract the directory part of a filename (to separate the
directory part and filename part. There was an articoe in QL Today about
this some time ago, there is a copy of that article provided by the author
on my website at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/articles/index.html called
Directory Name Functions
Using FNAME$ to return the name of a directory was something I pestered
Marcel about in the fairly early days of QPC2. At that time, it either
failed completely or always returned "" although Toolkit 2 versions usually
return the directory name on level 2 filing systems, even though it wasn't
in original Toolkit 2 manuals.
