DROPVIEW 1.0
		A multi-Window Drag & Drop Bitmap utility
		from SJHDesign


	A) INSTALLATION
	   This part is easy- just unzip the file. You don't have to put
	   DROPVIEW.EXE in a directory on your path.

	B) RUNNING DROPVIEW
	   DROPVIEW requires the File Manager or it's Norton Desktop counterpart
	   to run. You can start it from the Program Manager, your favorite menu
	   program or just by double-clicking on DROPVIEW.EXE in the File Manager.
	   The DROPVIEW icon(a little target) will appear on your desktop.  At
	   this point, you are ready to start loading bitmaps one at a time or
	   in groups by dragging them from the File Manager down to the DROPVIEW
	   icon. If you want DROPVIEW to load automatically whenever you
	   start Windows, open the File Manager and drag the file DROPVIEW.EXE 
	   to the STARTUP group in Program Manager. This way, the DROPVIEW is
	   always on your desktop for loading bitmaps and changing wallpaper.   
	   DROPVIEW can load Win3x, OS/2, RLE4 or RLE8 bitmaps from monochrome
	   to 24 bit color. 

	C) WHAT IT DOES
	   DROPVIEW allows you to drag any number of bitmaps from the File
	   Manager and loads each one in it's own scrollable window.  Once 
	   a bitmap is loaded, you can :
		-zoom it in or out
		-copy all or part of it to the clipboard 
		-save it under a different name 
		  if you've made any changes to it.  
	   	-make it your desktop wallpaper without 
		  messing around with Control Panel. 
		-get it's vital statistics(size, # of colors,
		 type, etc.)	    
	   DROPVIEW windows will also accept any kind of image from the 
	   Clipboard and allow you to save it as a Win3x bitmap.
	   
	D) MENU COMMANDS 
	   The menu commands available for each DROPVIEW window are explained
	   in the Help dialog. To view it, click on the DROPVIEW icon and choose
	   HELP. A few general notes on the menu commands:

	     COPY BITMAP: when you choose the COPY BITMAP command, only the
	     visible area of the bitmap is copied to the clipboard. If you
	     want to copy the entire bitmap, resize the window so the whole
	     bitmap is visible. If you only want a portion of the bitmap, then
	     resize the window until only the portion you want is visible.
 	
	     REFRESH PALETTE : this command only works on 256 color bitmaps.
	     When you a lot of bitmaps at once, you will notice that the colors
	     on some of them will appear washed out. Choosing REFRESH PALETTE		            		
	     restores the original colors in the current window. Due to the
	     way Windows works with colors, though, there are some limitations
	     to this. If the REFRESH PALETTE command doesn't restore the correct
	     colors, you will have to close some bitmap windows to make more
             memory available and try again.	

	     WALLPAPER : only files already written to disk can be used as
	     wallpaper. In other words, if you past an image from the clipboard
	     and use one of the WALLPAPER commands, DROPVIEW will use whatever
	     disk file was last in that particular window as it's wallpaper
	     file. If you paste a bitmap or alter it in any way, you must
	     SAVE and reload it before it can be used as wallpaper. 

	E) CLOSING DROPVIEW 
	   The DROPVIEW windows can be closed individually by opening the system
	   menu(that little bar in the upper left hand corner) and choosing
	   CLOSE. To close the DROPVIEW icon, click on it and choose CLOSE.
	   Doing this will also close any DROPVIEW windows that are still open.

	F) SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
	   Any system that will run Windows 3.1 will run DROPVIEW. The program
	   does not run under Windows 3.0.  On some systems, DROPVIEW will not
	   work together with Norton Desktop for Windows. NDW seems to disable
	   other Drag & Drop programs(like DROPVIEW) on some systems, although
	   the majority of our Beta Testers reported no problems running DROPVIEW
	   under NDW.   

	G) REGISTERING DROPVIEW
