- Intro
- =====
-
- This is the third release of the first public domain MPEG viewer
- for the Commodore Amiga. Please also read the file "README" for
- some general information about this software.
-
- This player needs at least a 68020 CPU (and 881 FPU). Compile
- yourself if you need a 68000 version, or you might give Kamran
- Karimi's Run68017 68020 emulation a try but I don't guarantee it
- will work.
-
- AmigaOS 2.04 or higher required. AmigaOS 3.0 recommended.
-
- This player needs Markus Wild's ixemul.library. As this lib still
- doesn't seem to exist on everyone's machines, I have included it
- with this distribution. For the complete GCC distribution contact
- your next FTP server.
-
- And... NO, THIS PLAYER DOESN'T NEED X-WINDOWS!
-
-
- Changes against V1.22 (second release):
-
- * Release 1.23 (not released due to 2.01):
- * - Dither mono & threshold now work (fast!)
- * - New option: -saveiff framename_%d.iff (guess for what ;-)
- * Saving currently forces screen mode. No support for 24 bit yet
- * - Added new option: -amiga screen:mode/depth/width/height,
- * reworked option dependancies
- *
- * Release 2.01 (Feb 12 1993):
- * - Based upon the new 2.0 release of the mpeg player for UNIX
- * - No need to enhance color allocation, as the new player
- * allows to set the range values (ncolors = l_rng*cr_rng*cb_rng)
- * - 24 Bit IFF save mode implemented

- Source
- ======
-
- There are two archives, one containing the binaries (and other
- usefull stuff) and the other one containing the sources (split up
- into original UNIX part plus special Amiga changes & extensions).
-
- I included the necessary X11 header files (don't think, many
- Amiga programmers have them around). The Makefile and code are
- for Markus Wild's port of the famous GNU GCC C compiler (thanks
- again, Markus!). Don't forget to build an amiga.lib version 39.x
- for your GCC before trying to compile the code.
