Short: The best boot-time picture displayer!
Author: calkowsk@usctoux1.cto.us.edu.pl (Grzegorz Calkowski)

SysPic 3.01
SysPic is a small but powerful viewer-like program meant to show a picture
during the boot time.
Features: * - a star feature :-)
o is small & VERY fast! (picture decompression routines written
in optimized assembly)
o shows IFF-ILBM pictures of any size and resolution
o supports AGA modes (also HAM8)
o centers picture both horizontally & *vertically*
* can fade-in picture and fade-out it to Workbench (with selectable
rate) - this works in asynchronous manner (i.e no delays) -
mouse pointer is also faded
* has a very powerful random selector - an option assures that
a picture won't show twice until all pictures are shown
o forces Workbench to open behind the displayed picture so it can be
closed after whole Workbench initialization
* is iprefs-jump proof - sets overscan prefs before IPrefs will do it!
o picture can be displayed in a desired mode or just promoted to
specific monitor
o blanks the pointer sprite so you won't see it when the Workbench
screen opens (it would look annoying)
* picture is automatically closed when something goes wrong with booting
- when an requester pops up on Workbench or so
o detaches from shell in an intelligent way (i.e after loading
the picture)
* DOES NOT fragment memory!!!
o supports BeetLogin (closes it's 'fake' screen)
o is 100% legal (and 100% AMOS free.... ;-)
o has been tested with Enforcer, Mungwall & MemWatch
* comes from Poland :))
===============================================================================
Changes in v3.01 (11.04.96)
o New options added: 'Red', 'Green', 'Blue'. Requested by Dave Dustin,
Girish Nath and Marcin Orlowski [blackness is now possible, guys :]
o Right mouse button doesn't immediately close the picture. It rather
fades it out (usable for tests). Again Girish Nath's suggestion.
o Distribution changed - SysPic is now split into two archives,
one with the program, second one with the bonus pictures.
(Saving bandwidth... :)
o Default tool in 'Install SysPic' icon changed to 'Installer'
(was 'C2:Installer'... ooops, ToolAlias in MCP is guilty).
Reported by Louis Le Gall.
o Four (marvellous) bonus pictures by Michal "Dixan05" Prochownik included.
o Sorry folks, the .01 increment took so long... :(
