END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Slightly OT since it's not fractal related but do any of you programmers have code (or links to code) to convert images into PVRTC textures ?
I want to save images to be used in the future as textures from our iPhone/iPad software and there may be a lot of them so ideally they should be converted to compressed textures before being saved, all I can find in the Xcode/iPad SDK development help is the Mac tool to pre-convert textures, nothing about how to do it yourself at runtime.
