| These apps aren't linked from the '/downloads' page index.
If you go to the parent page you can get them there.

| Nice!
I have just done a quick grab of a Workbench screen & I'd like to say there's a very nice improvement in the speed  I grabbed a full screen with the 68k version &... Put it this way, I thought OS4 had locked up 
I've never used PNGTool, I don't think I had a reason to use it, however, thanks for porting & uploading these.
Have they been added to OS4Depot & AmigaShare?

Me too. But I grabbed a lot! It worked just fine and now I am getting the OS4 version. Yeah!

| Great! 
SGrab 68k was quite slow indeed. PPC version is a welcome addendum. Thanks!

| A question!
I haven't got an A1 yet, but I'll like to learn something about it, and what to expect with program-sizes, as I'm a programmer.
When I look in the readme file for PNGTool, I see this:
Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name
-------- ------- ----- --------- -------- -------------
44826 15766 64.8% 15-Jun-04 19:47:32 +asyncio.library.os4
86380 47126 45.4% 29-Oct-02 21:46:18 +pngtool
4111 2092 49.1% 15-Jun-04 19:49:36 +PNGTool.doc
192932 80968 58.0% 15-Jun-04 19:46:36 +pngtool.os4
122564 54287 55.7% 29-Oct-02 21:47:06 +pngtoolPPC
5568 2638 52.6% 17-May-02 16:26:42 +PNGTool_español.doc
I guess,
pngtool is the 68k version,
pngtoolPPC is the PPC version for old Amigas and
pngtool.os4 plus asyncio.library.os4 is for A1's!?
I also know, that PPC versions normally are larger than 68k versions, but is this a typical example? Is it typical, that OS4 versions of programs are 2-3 times the size of 68k versions?
Thanks!
John. |

In general, yes. It depends what the code actually does deep down in the hardware. For instance, if the 68k version didn't call any complex instructions (just stuck to things like ADD) then the PPC version would be similar in size.

The version in the archive is not stripped, it contains debug symbols.

| Guessed that, but it looks still bit large. Typically PPC binary is twice as large compared to 68k binary (depends on optimizations, compiler etc. of course). |

It's down to 11kb when stripped. Don't know which compiler or settings
were used to produce it.

| 11kB is not bad then. I've been wondering relatively large binaries on OS4, even stripped. I've seen references to clib2, what is it, and c.library? |

| That's the C library written by Olaf Barthel, it's known to produce large and slow binaries;) Olaf fixed it meanwhile so that the binaries produced run much faster than before.
