NAME

       shp2pcx - extract images from a Shape (SHP) file into PCX files

SYNOPSIS

       shp2pcx SHAPE PREFIX PALETTE

DESCRIPTION

       shp2pcx converts all frames contained in a Shape file into PCX-format image files. Shape files are used for storage of all visible elements
       (from UI buttons to terrain features) of the games Exult supports.

       SHAPE is the name of the Shape file acting as the source. Frames contained therein are saved  as  PCX  files  named  PREFIXnn.pcx  with	nn
       replaced by the frame number (counting from zero). All PCX files get their palette from PALETTE.

       Before  extraction the number of frames, and the Shape's origin coordinates are shown. Additionally, extraction progress is communicated by
       printing a message containing the resulting file's name for every processed frame.

EXAMPLES

       shp2pcx orc.shp orc std.pal
	      Takes the frames contained in the Shape file orc.shp, and saves them with  the  palette  from  std.pal  into  PCX  files	orc00.pcx,
	      orc01.pcx, orc02.pcx, etc.
