PCF file and rename it to .ZIP − so "myfile.pcf" would become "myfile.zip". You can now open the
file as an archive, and save any images you like out of the "graphics" directory. Note that the Pronto
NG's black and white .BMP images are in 16−shades and may have a transparancy color, while the
original Pronto can only use 4 shades with no transparancy.

Finally, color .PNG files designed for the ProntoPro NG may contain 24−bit color .BMP or .PNG
graphics, which cannot be directly used by the Pronto or ProntoPro (which supports 256 colors). These
image files can be converted to appropriate .BMP formats using various image editing programs, but
note that the ProntoPro NG supports "alpha blend transparancies", something not supported by the
regular Pronto or ProntoPro, and any designs using that capability may not look correct after
conversion.

ProntoNEO .NCF and iPronto .ICF files work similarly to .PCF files: rename them to .ZIP, extract any
images you like, then convert them to an appropriate 4−shade or 256−color .BMP format for importing
into ProntoEdit.
