- FastGif V1.00
- (c) 1992 by Christophe PASSUELLO
- ---------------------------------
-
-
- FastGif is a fast viewer for GIF pictures; written in C for the user interface
- and assembler for unpacking and viewing routines.
-
- FastGif can't be sold, but you can distribute it on DP's disks or on BBS
- only if complete and unchanged.
-
-
-
- BAD
- ---
- - It uses a lot of memory (loading file in RAM), allocate big block (320Kb
- for a 640 * 512 pixels pictures)
-
- - Can't view pictures with more than 32 colors.
-
-
-
- GOOD
- ----
- - Very fast, mains routines are written using very high optimised assembler
- (about twice faster than TurboGif)
-
- - It should be even faster on 32 bits cards because the assembly routines are
- small enough to fit in cache.
-
- - It should works on NTSC or PAL.
-
- - You can scroll picture.
-
- - It handles corrupted GIF files
-
-
- USE
- ---
-
- FastGif takes one argument witch is the name of the GIF file, for each picture
- it displays size, numbers of colors and so on, ...
-
- Once displayed you can use the keys:
-
- L : switch Interlace
- H : switch Hires (only if no more than 16 colors)
- O : switch OverScan
- 2 4 6 8 : scroll picture
- ESC : escape from FastGif
-
- The picture is displayed in a screen so you can put the Workbench in front
- using the keys Amiga-Left N.
