Warp Datatypes

The WarpDT package comprises of a collection of picture datatypes, and an accompanying easy-to-use preferences program. The image formats currently supported are JFIF/JPEG, PNG, TIFF, Windows BMP, PCX, PSD (Adobe Photoshop®) and WebP, although support for more formats is planned. One of the key features of the datatypes is their superior decoding speed (hence the name Warp), especially on PowerPC equipped systems, and most importantly, not at the expense of power and features. The datatypes have very efficient memory usage, which in particular helps 68K systems, whilst on PowerPC, AltiVec acceleration is offered on AmigaOS 4.x and MorphOS, and WarpOS users get the full benefit of combined 68K/PowerPC dual-cpu performance.
