- TarGA Party 1 - Tin Blimp Graphics
-
- Special Thanks:
-
- First, how about thanking all the shareware authors everywhere?
- Without them, the computing world would be sorely lacking. This
- CD-ROM was accomplished largely in part to quality shareware
- programs. And the bearing that shareware has had on BBS'ing is
- immeasurable.
-
- I would like to thank Pinnacle Software for their GO utilities on
- CD-ROM's. Their material makes this disc much more user-friendly
- in regard to reading the text files. I want to encourage everyone
- to register any shareware that they may find useful.
-
- I would also like to thank the many shareware authors who wrote
- the myriad fine image viewers and editors out there. Again, with-
- out them, this disc would be much less.
-
- I must also thank Ero Tek, as well as Arsenal Computer, for their
- invaluable help in the production of this product - Ero Tek for
- their support of a cub-scanner and Arsenal Computer for arranging
- the technical aspects and file listings that accompany the disc.
- Without the support of both of them, this CD-ROM never would have
- reached fruition.
-
- And finally, I must thank all those people in my life that had to
- put up with countless hours devoted to the production of these
- images. I would bet that many have them may have forgotten what
- I look like from the front!
-
- Targa is an exciting image format that we feel is superior to the
- benchmark GIF's. And although the resolution of these images may
- not be as high as many GIF images, the vastly larger color variety
- more than makes up for it. Go figure... 256 colors just doesn't
- quite match up to images that average well over 100,000 colors!
- The targa format is not for everyone, but for those that want to
- take advantage of their powerful video adaptors, then this is the
- format for them. To put it in perspective, compare a high quality
- GIF to a television. Which one looks better? The tv, of course!
- The reason is because the tv uses many more colors... at 512x768
- resolution! That's only half the pixels of a high quality GIF!
-
- If you have a favorite image viewer that supports the targa format,
- then we recommend using it. If, however, you do not have any sort
- of viewer installed, then we suggest you browse through the utility
- section on this disc and find the one that best suits your needs.
-
- And with that, I say go forth and view what we feel are some of the
- best images ever to be put onto CD-ROM!
