My chrismas present for all who uses AmigaOS3.0 for serious uses and uses CLI. tool which gives picture dimensions using Datatypes.
http://aminet.net/util/cli/spicinfo.lha
ps. i say here i forgoted say else where should handle all kind errors. and there is no #? joker support at least yet becouse i mainly wanted test few things this actually coding exrise about Datatypes. but i give this way it becouse someone maybe needs such a program.

@Vanhapolle

Thanks this nice little tool.
IIRC even Photoshop is started as a simple picture viewer, so little first steps can lead to serious heights.

Let me note that a proper cli program should not print out copyright, version, etc. information at every call. Look after how to supply full version string. That can hold such information which can be read when needed.

Other must be for a CLI command IMHO is the Amiga-like command template.

Keep up your coding quest!

Edit: Oh, and almost forgot to mention that Aminet uploads has a good habit to include a #?.readme file which has some strict fields with information. Look after some readme creator tool to make some easily.

Good idea this readme creator. I know this little steps biggest steps very likely to me are GUI,Datatypes,and using LibPNG,LibJPEG etc.
