Short: Get pics from PowerPoint docs (PPS/PPT) Author: Balazs Molnar Uploader: Piotr Bandurski Type: gfx/misc Version: 0.2a Replaces: gfx/misc/ppsei-0.2-m68k.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.4 ppsei 0.2 -> What is this ppsei? ppsei (PPS Extract Images) is a simple command line program (written in C), which TRY to extract images from Microsoft PowerPoint Documents (PPS/PPT). -> Why this program? Because i get a lot of mails with attached PPS/PPT in, containing some nice images (about universe, about pretty girls, etc). The sender people are using this file format as an image-container, or image-encapsulator. They could use tar/zip/..., but somehow PPS is the general. On *nix systems only resource-consume application can handle this file formats (openoffice, wine + win.exe), so i decided to write this tool. -> What kind of images? Currently only JPEG and PNG files can be extracted. Because the PPS file format is not so well-documented as the gnumeric :-), there is no guarantee, that all images will be grabbed correctly. But the experience is, that it works! -> How can it be used? As i said, this is a command line program: you can call it from SHELL (or from favorite email software). It takes only the PPS file(s) as argument, and will extract all detected images to the current directory: $ ppsei universe.pps beauty-islands.ppt ... $ gqview (start here some image viewer application, to see the result) That is all Author: Balazs Molnar Amiga 68k port by Piotr Bandurski
