	   color" picture file format which has more colors and a smaller 
	   file size than GIF files.

	o  Windows BMP files (4, 8 and 24 bit, including 8 bit RLE)


ColorView provides: 
	o  Floyd-Steinberg dithering
	o  Heckbert color reduction
	o  Gamma correction, Hue, Saturation, and Brightness controls
	o  Sharpening, Smoothing, Embossing, Edge Tracing and other 
	   image filters
	o  Copy and Paste operations between all supported image formats
	o  New Image creation and text drawing functions
	o  Adjustable image Transparency Effects
	o  "Blue Screen" effects
	o  Image Rotation and Mirroring functions
	o  Intuitive graphical user interface, with or without a mouse
	o  Slideshow mode for uninterrupted image viewing
	o  Fast and extremely accurate Image Scaling for reducing and
	   enlarging pictures
	o  GIF Animation support
	o  Ability to switch graphics modes while viewing an image
	o  And much more!


ColorView will work with:
	o  Standard VGA 320x200 video mode
	o  8 bit, 256 color display boards with a VESA driver 
	o  15 bit, 32768 color display boards with a VESA driver
	o  16 bit, 65356 color display boards with a VESA driver
	o  24 bit color display boards with a VESA driver
	o  DOS 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
	o  640 K or more of physical memory
		(expanded and extended memory will automatically be used)
	o  a hard disk
		(automatically used if not enough physical memory)
	o  80286, 80386-SX, 80386, 80486, Pentium processors

ColorView for DOS (CVIEW.EXE) will run on '286 processors and will
automatically take advantage of a '386 or better processor if one
is available. As a result, no configuration options need to be set
to double the JPEG decompression speed when a '386 or better
processor is present.

To install, copy all of the files into a directory on your hard disk. Read
the ColorView documentation by editing the CVIEW.TXT document using your
favorite text editor/word processor.

To run ColorView, please make sure that your graphics board is VESA 1.2
compatible or load a VESA 1.2 driver, and then type "cview" at the prompt.

Or, if your graphics card only supports standard VGA, type
"cview -v <File-Name> ...." where <File-Name> can include wildcards and
multiple file names can be specified.

Type "cview -?" to see the other command line options.

Enjoy!
