- PICINFO will take the name of a file and attempt to idenify the type of
- picture file and then print out some information contained within the
- file. Currently recognized with information are IFF ILBM files, GIF
- and SRGR files. All of these display the size of the bitmap and also
- the number of bitplanes. Extra information is displayed about IFF ILBM
- files.

- HISTORY (most current improvements first)
- V1.04 - 26 September 1992
- Added directory support. If a directory or device is given as argument
- then that is searched recursively for all pictures and the information
- printed about every picture. Also added P6 file information. Now
- tells what the size of picture and how many color registers.
-
- V1.03 - 25 September 1992
- Added GIF information. Finally found out how the size of the page and
- also the number of bitplanes were stored. Currently only GIF87a files
- are displayed with the correct information as far as I know. I have no
- GIF89a files to test this on.
-
- V1.02 - 24 September 1992
- Added SRGR file information. Only gives basic information. Size of
- bitmap and tells that file has 24 bitplanes. Whether this is true or
- not I don't know but I am assuming that all SRGR files are 24-bit.
- If I am wrong please tell me how to find out otherwise. I have no way
- of viewing these so I don't know that I am getting the right info.
-
- V1.01 - 23 September 1992
- Added extra information to IFF ILBM display. Now know the aspect
- ratios and also the page size of the picture. (Is not always the same
- as the picture. I have a picture of bitmap size 610 X 513 but the page
- size is only 600 X 7. Thats what the IFF header says anyway.)
-
- V1.00 - 22 September 1992
- Started PicInfo. Can identify IFF ILBM, GIF, SRGR, PPM, P6, JPEG and
- specially crunched pictures but only knows information about IFF ILBM
- files so far. Keep watching this station for further updates.
