# a2fc.system
|
||||||
|
a very small `.a2fc` graphics file viewer for Apple II computers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`.a2fc` ("Apple II Full Color") files are uncompressed double hi-res graphics files that can be displayed on any Apple //e or later with an extended 80-column card.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`a2fc.system` has no user interface. It is designed to take the pathname of an .a2fc file as a startup program, as explained in [ProDOS 8 Technical Reference Manual §5.1.5.1](http://www.easy68k.com/paulrsm/6502/PDOS8TRM.HTM#5.1.5.1). If this pathname is not supplied, `a2fc.system` will simply quit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ProDOS 2.4.1 users: if you rename `a2fc.system` to `basis.system` and put it in the root directory of your startup disk, you can select any `.a2fc` file in Bitsy Bye and it will be passed to `basis.system` as the startup program and displayed properly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ProSel users: you can create a ProSel item that displays an `.a2fc` graphic file. Assuming `a2fc.system` is `/HD/BIN/A2FC.SYSTEM` and your graphic file is `/HD/PHOTOS/MYPIC.A2FC`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
````
|
||||||
|
Screen title: -your choice-
|
||||||
|
Prefix: ?BIN/
|
||||||
|
Application path: A2FC.SYSTEM
|
||||||
|
Startup: ?PHOTOS/MYPIC.A2FC
|
||||||
|
````

||||||

|
||||||
|
## Tools to create A2FC files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [BMPA2FC](http://www.appleoldies.ca/graphics/index.htm#dhgr) (Windows)
|
||||||
|
* [Buckshot](https://apple2.gs/buckshot/) (macOS)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Beagle Graphics used separate files to store double hi-res graphics, a `.bin` and `.aux` file. You can easily combine these into a single `.a2fc` file. The `.aux` part goes first.
