[edit] Discussion
Here's a way to view a Sprite file in DataShow Pro v1.4A (assumes you have a way to run DOS software):
- Put the SPR file in the same directory as SHOW.EXE.
- Run SHOW.EXE.
- At the main menu, press F7 (Graph).
- Select "Animation" from the pop-up menu.
- Select a number of colors. Try 16 first.
- In the Animation Center, press the "Load" button. Type the filename, and press enter.
- If the file has multiple images, use the "Frame" button to choose an image.
[edit] Identification
A Sprite file starts with byte 0x0d, followed by ASCII "DataShow Icon".
