- ! PostView NEEDS the post.library that is based in the PostV1.7.lha archive !
- ! !
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-
- PostView uses the post.library, so don't blame me for any parse-problems:-B
- Read the post.library docs for copyrights and any additional informations.
- Special thank go to Adrian Aylward for the post.library and his confusing
- source style:-B
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- !If you use PostView from the WB the post.library error output is written !
- !into NIL:. If you want to see the output you must specify an output file.!

-
- Color Handling:
-
- o WB
-
- On the WB PostView uses the default colours so you can get
- uncorrect coloured pictures.
-
- o SCREEN
-
- If you open it on a Screen with »4 Colour CMYK« active you
- should get a correct Colour output.
-
- o A2410
- b&w uses black and grey
- 3/4 bitplanes use the Post colours.
-

-
- To Do: o Faster FillMem(Movem optimized...i want to get it out as fast as possible
- and i'm sooooooooo lazy)
-
- o Centreing is sooo slow...instead of readpixel use direct Bitmap
- checks.....though it's acceptable on an a4000.
-
-
-
- Nice time while exploring all the obvious functions and if you're one
- of these creatures that enjoy to read manuals,nevermind.
- There's always another time......

- Regards....
