-
-
- **************************** CHANGES *******************************
- ;
- ; version 2.0.6
- ;
- ; - added a version string for 'version ibmeps.import' to work
- ;
- ; - fixed a bug that would not freemem when the module did a abortobj()
- ; inside the the pic routines.
- ;
- ; - fixed a bug when the module could not o_malloc() the memory for the
- ; pic object (it did not check to be sure it got the OK from o_malloc)
- ;
- ;
- ; version 2.0.5 - public release
- ;
- ; - fixed bug when importing a PALETTE tiff image: the get info routine
- ; would store the 3 times total number of colors in the cmap.
- ;
- ; - fixed bug when tiff image had multiple rows per strip
- ;
- ; - added support for the eps data being after the TIFF header
- ;
- ; - bug fix: I removed the check for the %!-PS-Adobe string because the
- ; eps data can be above the 1K buffer that the check routine has to work
- ; with.
- ;
- ; version 2.0.4 (shipped with PgS 2.1 12/10/90)
- ;
- ; - fixed bug in PackBits de-compression routine that caused
- ; the de-compression to run on past it's boundries.
- ; (which in turn caused system problems w/ NewShell & IconX)
- ;
- ;
- ; version 2.0.3
- ;
- ; - applied TIFF/GIF LZW speed up and code reduction to this module
- ;
- ; - bug fix for f_skip "bug" that occured when f_skip was fixed.
- ; f_skip now sub.l the length in d0, so I need to fix my work around
- ; so it would clear out the upper word of d0 (the length of the file)
- ;
- ; - bug fix when an error condition happened in the f_read, f_skip stuff
- ; I left a value on the stack so when it exited on an error it would
- ; crash.
- ;
- ;
- ; version 2.0.2 (uploaded 9/25/90)
- ;
- ; - bug fix in tiff section (see tiff202.asm for more info)

- What makes this module so special? It will display on screen a TIFF
- representation of the EPS data (if there is one in the file). No longer are
- you forced to look at the box with a X in it and wonder how you're output
- will look (unless you want to). Also as an added bonus the TIFF representaion
- can be output to any non-postscript printer (if the printer is postscript the
- actual postscript is output).
-
- When importing, there are two options: Show picture and Do not show
- picture. So if you are low on memory so can save some memory by not
- loading the picture with the eps.
-
- With version 2.0 of the OS the "version" command has gained some new talents.
- Whereas it used to only work on libraries, it now works on any file. It will
- look for a "version string" inside a file and print it out to the CLI if it
- finds it. A "version string" has been added to many of the new import modules.
- This makes it very easy to find out what version of the import module you have.
- From a CLI just type "version <module name>" and press return. You no longer
- have to load up PageStream and look at the import requester for the version
- number.
-
- As with all the modules, if you come across some pictures that will not load
- or crash when importing, please upload them to our BBS or mail them to us on
- a floppy disk with an explaination of the problem. We will try them and fix
- the import module if appropriate.

- Thank you,
