BMPBGB.EXE
----------
System Requirements: Win95, Win98, Win98SE, WinNT
Will work in Win2000, WinXP, Vista, Win7 using the command line/prompt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

commandline: (from 'START\RUN'): bmpbgb bgb test.bmp test.bgb

=======================================================

Convert- test.bmp:
 
File size must be 315 x 315 pixels for proper display.
High Color (24bit) .BMP is Good, but will make a larger .BGB file size.
256 Color .BMP makes a smaller .BGB file size, but sometimes loses integrity.
It is good to test both 24 bit and 256 color .BMP forms and compare quality.

If you wish to allow Microsoft Chat users to be able to automatically
download this background when needed, you need to upload the file
to a web or FTP site.

Enter the full URL (including the filename) of the location where
you will make the file available (or just press Enter if you do not
want to use this feature: (ex: http://www.yoursite.com/backgrounds/test.bgb)

You can specify whether other users who get your background
can publish it themselves on their own web site, and allow
other users to automatically download it from there.

Enter 'n' to prevent them from doing so, or anything else
to allow them to do so: (ex: y)

You may want to have a copyright message appear when a user selects
your background in the 'Backgrounds' page in Microsoft Chat.

Enter a copyright message, or just press Enter for no message:
Message: (ex: No Copyright! Hope you enjoy the background!)

HELPFUL TIP: After entering your copyright information, if you then type in the 
characters \n then write in your name, it will add a second 'author' line to the 
information tag within Comic Chat.

example:
---------------
Converted by Soft - www.allbgs.com\nKewpie

will look like:
---------------
Converted by Soft - www.allbgs.com
Author: Kewpie
---------------
in the information tag. 
...The 'Author:' is added automatically by the Comic Chat program
if it sees the \n characters in the copyright information line.

BMPBGB.EXE will also convert the old format avb to the new compressed avb.

example: commandline (from 'START\RUN'): bmpbgb Tiki.avb new\Tiki.avb

This will convert the older 2.0 and 2.1 character.avb to the new 2.5 compressed format
and place it into a subfolder named 'new'. (so you don't overwrite your old stuff)
