611.0. "Spectre: HD backup?/debuggers?/GEMpicture -> Mac?" by BERN01::RUGGIERO () Mon Sep 25 1989 06:54

    There seemed to be a problem with my note 611.0. So I deleted it
    and try to enter my questions again...
    
    
    3 questions for the Spectre community:
    
    - How do you backup your Spectre partitions on your harddrive???
      I have an EX60 60MByte (non SCSI) drive of witch 30 MBytes are
      currently reserved for  the Spectre. All the backup progs I tried
      so far are going to access the Mac's SCSI controller directly,
      so failing (bombing) on the Spectre. 
      I really need urgent  help on that, because I want to repartition
      my disk. Also I generally do not feel very good without a save
      way for backing up my data.
    
    - I am looking for a debugger/monitor that runs under Spectre.
      Macsbug crashes the system at boottime...
      MacNosy complains about not having the right ROMmap file for my
      system. Probably it is not the right one, or it is damaged, but
      I think I have the latest ROMs and the corresponding mapfile.
      If MacNosy runs under Spectre can someone then provide me with
      the correct files? 
      Any other debuggers that do the job?
    
    - I have GEM pictures that I want to include into Mac graphics.
      Is there a way to convert Atari format pictures to Mac format?
      Any utilities around or at least a good idea how to do it? I could
      write a hack myself if I know how.
    
    Thanks in advance

611.1Touch-Up for .GEM to MacPaintDUGGAN::WEAVERLaboratory Data Products/ScienceTue Sep 26 1989 01:2615
    Touch-Up(tm) by Migraph will read the following formats:
    
    Degas (&Elite), .IMG, MacPaint, Neochrome, .PCX, .TNY and .TIF, as well
    as .GEM
    
    It will write the following formats:
    
    .GIF, .IMG, .PCX, .TIF, Degas, IFF-ILBM, MacPaint and PrintMaster
    
    If that is what you want to convert to/from, then this is the only
    package I am aware of that will import .GEM.  The disadvantage is
    you loose the object in the .GEM files and replace them with
    essentially a bitmap.
