 V43.110 (15.10.97):  - Prefs GUI design improved by Georg Rottlaender
                        <Georg.Rottlaender@bonn.netsurf.de>
                        under use of a 'NewIcon' graphics by Philip Vedovatti
                        <vedovatt@u.washington.edu> - included with kind permission
                        by the 'Team NewIcons'
                      - Prefs program accidentally linked with storm020.lib. Fixed.
                      - this will be the LAST update, until there's a MAJOR
                        reason to fix/update something
                        (if there'd be interest in updates, there'd perhaps
                         be some more registrations...)

 Program information
 -------------------
 akPNG.datatype is a new PNG datatype, which is based on the
 latest PNG sources (zlib V1.0.4, libpng 1.0 beta 6 - version 0.96).

 So it does support 8 Bit color mapped files (colorspace expanded to
 8 bit per component always) and True color files (24/48 Bit, alpha
 channel ignored, 48 Bit 16:16:16 cut down to 24 Bit 8:8:8).
 [ More detailed description can be found in akPNG.guide ]

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Supported output bitmap formats:

   - picture.datatype V39-42:

      o (upto) 256 palette colors
      o HAM6 or HAM8

   - picture.datatype V43 (CyberGraphX or Picasso96)  (*)

      o 24 Bit RGB

 Where upto 256 colors always will be exported unmodified,
 and 24 Bit data either is dithered or converted to HAM6/HAM8,
 if it can't be or should not be exported unmodified.

 (*) the latter one works with OCS/ECS/AGA, too
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 You must use the included preferences program for best configuration.
