Short:        Datatype for RISC OS (Acorn) Sprites
Author:       chris@unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk (Chris Young)
Uploader:     chris unsatisfactorysoftware co uk (Chris Young)
Type:         util/dtype
Version:      2.4
Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.0

This datatype reads most old and new format sprites, with
transparency.

There seems to be no good way of identifying Sprites by looking at
the file contents, so the descriptor might be a bit iffy.  Let me
know if it misdetects any files.

The colour depth is always reported as 32-bit, as picture.datatype
won't show the picture if I set it correctly.

As usual, I can and will not accept responsibility for any damage,
loss of data etc incurred through use of this software.  This archive
is provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind and all use is at
your own risk.

Please check the PGP signature in the Aminet readme against the
archive to ensure it has not been tampered with.
