I'm writing a large program which uses a large amount of graphics, most of
which are generated from POV-Ray scripts. I need to convert some into
animations, some to stills, and various groups of images must have the same
palette - sounds like a game to me :). I normally use DTA (Dave's Targa
Animator) for this job, as it is ideal, however, as the program has grown,
I needed a way to only convert images that were changed i.e. using a
makefile for the image generation. Big problem - DTA uses a 16 bit DPMI
server which is incompatible with DJGPP V2 Make. I found an old copy of
Borland Make (from Turbo C Professional 2.0) which works, but it is very
limited on memory, and it's makefiles are not very compatible with Unix
standard makefiles. - Anyone got any bright ideas, - source for a high
quality quantizer would probably do the trick, or do I have to change my
style of working?
