- akJFIF.datatype manual V43.5 (20.10.96)
- (C) 1996 by Andreas R. Kleinert.

-
- Usage
- -----
- Just install the datatype files to their appropriate directories,
- and copy the akJFIFPrefs command to SYS:Prefs (optionally).
-
- Please make sure, that there is a directory available, where temporary
- data can be stored. There must be an assignment called "VMEM:" to
- this directory.
-
- The assignment originally would have been "JPEGTMP:" for the JFIF
- sources, but the memory manager has been strongly modified and
- enhanced - on a system with many RAM available you will perhaps
- never actually encounter usage of that directory.
-
- Do not assign it to "T:" - just create a safe place for it.

- Program information
- -------------------
- akJFIF.datatype is a new JPEG datatype, which is based on the
- latest IJG JFIF sources V6a.
-
- So it does support progressive JPEG and all the other things
- introduced with V6a (note: it reads progressive JPEG, but DataTypes
- cannot display images progressively - instead only as a single chunk).
-
- With V39-V42 picture.datatype it produces 256 color palette-based
- (with either none, floyd-steinberg or ordered dithering) or HAM6/8
- output, with Ralph Schmidt's picture.datatype V43 as well optionally
- 24 Bit output may be done.
-
- You must use the included preferences program for best configuration.
-
- akJFIF.datatype is SHAREWARE, the future depends on YOU (-> see README).
