SHR View is ShareWare, which means if you use the program you should send in a small ($10-$20) ShareWare fee. If you choose not to send in your payment (which will probably be the case), then please honor the ShareWare system and delete your copy of the program.
Please let me know where you got the program from when you send in your fee.

I would like to thank the 10 or so people who've been generous enough to send in their shareware payment. Thank you very much.
The main purpose of SV is to view all of the images in the current prefix (directory). SV doesn't physically have to be in the directory with the images that are to be displayed. By following this example you can have SV in one directory while displaying images in another:
SHR View is located in the directory "/HARD2/UTIL".
The images are located in the directory "/HARD2/GRAPHICS/PICS.3200"
]prefix /hard2/graphics/pics.3200
]-/hard2/util/shr.view
<that's it!>
From GSOS you will probably want to have SV in each of your graphics directories so you can just double-click on SV to view all of your pics without having to go into BASIC and play around with the prefix.
To make SV the boot program on any disk, just rename SV to "SHR.VIEW.SYSTEM" and delete "BASIC.SYSTEM".
SV can load images of ANY SIZE. This is how the software is written, but due to buffer constraints the maximum load size is 4096x4096, which I doubt anyone will EVER exceed.
GIFs will be displayed in grayscale and at their FULL SIZE.
