- Thanks for all the feedback on WinGIF. There has been enough
- response to make want to keep working on it and I have quite a few
- enhancements planned. Keep those registrations comming.
-
- WinGIF Version 1.4 has some significant enhancements over release 1.0.
- There are several bug fixes as well. The biggest changes are in
- dithering and color control. I've added Gamma correction commands to
- compensate for diferences in screen displays.
- The dither commands can now take gamma into consideration which can
- make a very big improvement in dithering quality. The windows VGA
- palette dosen't seem to match the colors that it claims so I've added
- color compensation which is specifically for generating 16 color images
- for viewing under Windows with a VGA screen. For previewing images on
- VGA there is also a quick 8 color dither.
- There is a work-around for the upside-down display bug in the SVGA
- drivers. Scrolling now functions while decoding and dithering. RLE
- files save to the right size.
- WinGIF will autoscroll while you select a clipbox and you can now
- move the selection box by holding SHIFT or the right button before
- pressing the left button to drag the box.
- You can reopen or delete the current file with new File Menu
- commands.
- There is alse a basic slide show capability. WinGIF will cycle
- through a list of selected images.
-
-
- Known Problems:
-
- The 8514a driver has a problem with large images in monochrome or
- 4 bit formats. Depending on the image you may be able to display and
- print as long as you don't move the viewport from the origin. If this
- occurs it hangs windows and you need to reboot.
-
- If you use the HPPCL printer drivers with the Full page print option
- the driver sometimes over stretches the image and then clips it down.
- If you get this try sizing the image up or down a litle and try again.
-
- Registraton:
-
- With respect to the Shareware registration. There is no reminder box
- just your conscience to encourage registration. If the registration
- response is good then I will have incentive to keep improving the
- program. I'm sorry that enhancements have been so slow in comming,
- like all of you I am very busy and am only doing this for fun. I
- really do appreciate the registrations. It is great to know that
- some of you like what I've done. It has and will continue to
- encourage me to improve WinGIF. I regret that I am not presently set
- up to send out disks, aditional information, or to respond to all of your
- letters. You need to obtain updates from Bulletin boards, friends or
- ShareWare distributors. The registration fee only leagalizes your
- use of the program.
-
-
- Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
