Title: Any way to decode AmigaBlitz shape datafiles under windows?
Post by: va!n on March 14, 2011

Sorry to spam with another question. I have an very old amiga datafile with a lot of images in it. This datafile is a shapefile that was created with the AcidShapeLib of the amiga BlitzBasic version in the 90th.

On amiga i wrote in blitz an own small tool to unpack/decode such shapefiles and convert the shapes back to the original iff format. Since i have no information about the shape fileformat created with AcidShapeLib.

Any idea, how to convert the shape datafile back to its original iff images on windows? Or any info about the fileformat? Thanks

Well, I don't know how things are stored in these data files, but have you tried a ripper program like MRip on it? If the file isn't encrypted, maybe it can extract the iff files. That's just a wild guess though and probably too simple. Maybe you could upload the file so we can have a look at it?
