- VIEWGIF Copyright 1992 by MicroGenesis Software
- -----------------------------------------------
- (Gif Viewing C Source Code for:
- IBM VGA
- MicroSoft Windows
- Color Macintoshes
- MultiApp
-
- INSTALLATION/USAGE
- -------------------
- Installation/usage could not be easier. Simply put
- VIEWGIF somewhere in the DOS path where dos will be sure to
- find it. Then issue the command:
-
- VIEWGIF <gif.gif>
-
- The program will then ask you what mode of VGA you wish
- to use. PLEASE NOTE: VIEWGIF ONLY supports VGA, VIEWGIF is
- meant for professional 256color VGA/SUPER VGA display.
- Support is not currently given for anything less than
- VGA/MCGA(320x200x256colors).
-
- There Must Be A MILLION Gif Viewers For The IBM.
-
- So why did I write this program!? True there are gif
- viewers that greatly top this program in their user
- interface. However there was one problem, I NEEDED THE C/C++
- SOURCE CODE! I could not find this ANYWHERE. Finally I
- decided I would have to write it for myself, the result is
- what you see. Because of all the TROUBLE I went through
- trying to find a GIF source code for C, I am going to save
- you the trouble of re-inventing the wheel. The COMPLETE
- source code for this package is available from MicroGenesis
- Software.
-
- One other thing I might add, while attempting to locate
- gif source code I found a program in the IBMPRO forum of
- CompuServe that is almost just like this offer(a neat gif
- viewer with the promise of source code). So of course seeing
- the answer to all my prayers I sent him off the money almost
- before I was even done downloading the file. I NEVER HEARD
- FROM THAT COMPANY AGAIN!! First of all I am not that
- company, this is a TOTALLY different offer. Secondly
- MicroGenesis has been in the consulting/shareware business
- for several years. We ship our products within a week of
- receipt of the order, and have a 5day a week tech support
- line.
-
- The source code for this program is written in Borland
- C. The only area I strayed from the ANSI standard is in the
- use of graphic routines. As a result you should have little
- trouble using it on another compiler, or another computer
- system even(we have ported it to Macintosh).
-
- Borland C++ does not support 256color graphics, so a 3rd
- party driver is required to make this program run. We use
- and strongly recommend the SVGA/TWEAK system by Jordan
- Hargrave(this program can be found in the BPROGB area of
- compuserve). His package provides the best support of
- VGA/SuperVga we have seen to date. Full working BGI
- files/Header files are included with the file you download,
- and registration is only $20(at the time of this writing).
- This product is the one we used to create the demo we sent
- out with the IBM version. Of course Windows/Mac supports
- their extended graphics very well, and no such driver is
- required. The source you will receive when you register is
- written for use by Jordan's software. If you choose to use a
- different extended VGA BGI it is clearly documented how to do
- so.

- $50 to:

- Please specify which product you want(namely VIEWGIF), as we
- have several products.
