| PictoDS V2.1
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
This program should be used with the Nintendo DS program ComicBookDS
(both of them are available at http://cbds.free.fr/)
Launch "pictods.exe" (or pictods.sh) to convert your comic books into .cbds file
s for
your Nintendo DS.
Those cbds files can be read using the ComicBookDS program.

Java is needed to run pictods : http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

Changes in V2.1 :
* New : Pictods now runs on Linux and Mac.
* New : Possibilty to link PictoDS to your prefered PDF to JPG software
(new command line available in "Path" dialog box).
* New : In command lines ("Path" dialog box) it was just possible to specify
the

command line you want (see pictods.properties to have an example).

mmand
line option in 'Path' dialog). Usefull for linux and Mac users or if
