- NEW! RELEASE 1.2
-
- This is rlease 1.2 of my Windows image file viewer. This version
- contains bug fixes over 1.11 and adds the capability to use a full
- 256 colors (full palette) when a 256 color windows driver is used.
-
- It will read windows bitmap files (.BMP, .DIB, .RLE) and GIF files. It
- can be used to convert GIF files to windows wallpaper by saving the gif
- as a .BMP file. You can also copy the image and paste it into other
- Windows applications.
-
- Now you can load an image in any format (such as PCX) that your windows
- paint program supports into your windows paint program and copy it and
- paste it into BBView. Remember to paste the palette also (see menu).
- You can then save it in the GIF format.
-
- BBView saves each image it loads from a file in discardable memory.
- This means if you want to see an image you've already loaded, you don't
- have to wait for it to be decoded again. If the system gets really low
- on memory, it will discard these images and BBView will have to load
- them again. BBView discards them automatically when you quit from it.
-
- This version, 1.2, is FREE. I hope to improve it by adding a slide show
- capability, PCX and TIFF format support, and speed enhancements. The
- enhanced version will be shareware and sell for $15 or $20. Again, this
- version is FREE. I would like to hear from anyone who uses it, and I
- would like to find out what features people want in a Windows gif viewer
- so I can put those features in the shareware version.
