On my Christmas wish list-a utility to convert Fractint's 16 bit .POT files to a high color depth format like say PNG or TGA.
I was thinking that POV-Ray could handle such file types, but I am not on my machine at the moment and unable to verify that. I believe that the .POT files are supposed to be quite similar to the .GIF format, which means it should not be difficult to write a conversion utility.
But why create a specialized file format unless there were a way to handle such files?? So there must be something around to do this.
I tried Googling around. Most sites insist that .POT files are Powerpoint presentation templates. But I always thought Powerpoint presentation templates were PPT files. But I remember there being utilities that could read and convert the 16-bit POT files. I could have sworn it was IrfanView, but that program's website doesn't say anything about them. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
