- KNOWN PROBLEMS
- There are two bugs in the 256 color ET4000 driver that comes with the
- OS/2 2.1 beta or OS/2 2.0 + Service Pack: 1) the driver does not stretch
- the bitmap correctly so the Stretch to Fit Window option does not work
- properly, and 2) the image under the dialog box or under the drop-down
- menu is not re-drawn with the right colors. Use the Auto-Refresh option
- if you have the second problem.
-
- If you are using the 256 color ET4000 driver, for certain images such as
- 24-bit images displayed with Maximum Color Depth set to 256 colors, the
- text that shows the cropping dimensions is garbled by a filled box.
- This appears to be a bug in OS/2's palette manager or the driver.
-
- If you are using a 256 color driver, when you exit PMJPEG, the system
- colors do not immediately return to normal. The system colors are
- gradually restored by OS/2. You can force the colors to change back by
- opening and/or closing a window, such as the window list that pops up
- when you hit CTL-ESC.
-
-
- DISTRIBUTION CONDITIONS
- You are free to distribute this shareware version of PMJPEG as long as the
- following conditions are met:
- 1) The distributed archive must contain ONLY the files listed above.
- 2) The contents of this archive are NOT MODIFIED in any way.
- 3) This version is not to be sold. However, a reasonable disk copying fee
- is permitted.
- 4) This version is not to be bundled with a commercially sold package
- without permission from the authors.
-
-
- HOW TO REGISTER
- If you use PMJPEG for more than 14 days, you are expected to register
- PMJPEG. When you register, you will receive the latest version of
- PMJPEG, a user manual, and a collection of JPEG images (we will put as
- many as we can fit on 1 1.44M 3 1/2" floppy or on 4 360k 5 1/4"
- floppies). Also, the registered version does not have the
- reminder-to-register screen at the start.
-
- The registration fee is only $20. Massachusetts residents, add 5% sales
- tax to the registration fee. US residents, add $4 for shipping and
- handling; non-US residents, add $8 for shipping and handling. If you
- want PMJPEG e-mailed to your account instead of having it physically
- mailed to you, there is no extra shipping charge. If you are paying
- with a Visa or MasterCard, add 10% to this subtotal. The 10% is the
- processing fee that we get charged for credit card transactions.
-
- Updates are free but the shipping charge described above applies to
- updates. Users who register PMJPEG and provide an e-mail address will
- automatically receive updates via e-mail.
-
- For e-mail registrations, you need to use a program called "uudecode" to
- decode the uuencoded file that we e-mail to you. For your information,
- a uuencoded file is a binary file that is converted to text by a program
- called "uuencode". If your mail system rejects large messages, we will
- split the uuencoded file into smaller parts before mailing the parts to
- you, and you will need to edit the messages with a text editor before
- you can decode them. Compuserve, for example, does not permit large
- e-mail messages. Also, the uuencoded file is rather large; it is
- approximately 300k for PMJPEG v.1.6. Compuserve users may find it less
- expensive to receive PMJPEG via U.S. Mail.
-
- Registrations with the incorrect fee, non-US currency, or drawn on a
- non-US bank will be returned.
-
- To register, complete the order and send payment to:
-
- Norman Yee
- 58 Chandler St.
- Boston, MA 02116
- U.S.A.
-
- Registration of PMJPEG is based on "personal usage." Corporate or
- organizational users must register all copies used on an individual
- basis; a specific person (name) must be explicitly assigned to each
- registrant who will be provided with a personalized copy of PMJPEG.
- Registration grants a specific person (not an organization or corporate
- entity) the right to use PMJPEG.
-
- Although we will try to mail your copy of PMJPEG 1-3 weeks after we
- receive your registration, please allow up to 4-6 weeks for delivery.
