================AVI4BMP=============
Animations to BMP/PNG grid converter
Absolutely Freeware
(C)2005 Bottomap Software

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

Avi4Bmp is mainly a conversion tool which reads Avi,Gif and Mpgs and converts them to an unique Bmp or Png with all frames from the original animation. 

Really handy for game programming. Convert-back feature allow the user to get back the original animation after, for example, the application of filters or retouch (AVI back conversion is subjected to usual rules according to codecs used - uncompressed Avi will however be always converted back).

Perfect for BlitzBasic's LoadAnimImage() function as well as other game developing software which read animated images from a strip or a grid.
Full Drag and Drop support and limited size (160kb) make it an handy tool for every game-programmer.

Since it's an open project everyone is invited to make suggestion or ask for their-preferite-file-format's integration ;-)
