旼컴컴컴컴컴컴� � � � NHView 0.0d � � � � � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴� Freeware. Copyright (C) 1995 Jonny R. Eriksen What is it? NHView is a simple to use viewer for use in OS/2 Fullscreen sessions. It does 256 and 16 million colours. But 16 million colour format pictures will not display on 8bit graphics cards. This will likely be fixed in a newer release, since I myself can only view 8bit pictures like it is now. If anyone got a Mach64 and makes it work, let me know. Works with JPG, RLE, IRIS, PBM, BMP, PCX and most GIF-files. It is not perfect, doesn't support all GIF files, does not support any other formats, and is not too fast. On the bright side, what we got here is a nice companion to any of the Norton Commander clones currently available for OS/2, like File Commander, Nemo and so on..... What do you need to run it? Well, a release of OS/2 2.x or 3.x should be ok. But you do need a SVGA driver correctly installed. You should have a SVGADATA.PMI file in your OS2 directory that identifies your SVGA graphics card and supported resolutions. I have also tested the program with newer drivers that do not use the SVGADATA.PMI card, and that also worked ok... Problems? Doesn't it run? Well first of all, any 8514/a graphics card is not supported. And some ATI Mach64 owners have experienced problems running it... Make sure you do not run your ATI card in 8514/a mode!!! I have successfully run it on both Mach32 and Mach64 graphics cards myself. If you got a mach64 and get it working, send me your SVGADATA.PMI file! (It is in the OS2 directory on your bootdrive.) Mail adress: jonny@hsr.no Do you want to contribute to this viewer? Mail me at jonny@hsr.no with decoding source in C/C++ for other graphics formats or working code for all GIF formats. If you got a Mach64 card lying around collecting dust, and want to give it to me, drop me a mail, It seems to be the only card this software doesn't run on. It would be nice to get it working, and of course the infamous 8514/a....... If you find any bugs, mail me at jonny@hsr.no Please test it on more than one GIF-file, because it does not correctly identify 8bit GIF's by itself.... Future plans? Find a girl, make my first million $ and live happily ever after. This one is really needed!!
