-
- **************************************************************************
-
- This is part 1/7 of the SuperView-II distribution, which consists of
- the following parts:
-
- SvII-1.lha Main program, Tools, SuperView-Library
- SvII-2.lha Documentation files
- SvII-3.lha SVDrivers
- SvII-4.lha SVOperators
- SvII-5.lha SQ's SVOperators
- SvII-6.lha SVObjects
- SvII-7.lha 68030 optimized modules (SVObjects/Drivers/Operators)
-
- All parts are (C) 1993-98 by Andreas R. Kleinert. All rights reserved.
- Parts only are allowed to be distributed together, not solely.
-
- Distribution and other legal conditions are to be obtained from the
- documentation as found in the second archive.
-
- To get the complete distribution, un-archive each of the single
- archives into the same directory:
-
- LHA x [archive].lha RAM:
-
- This will result in a directory called "SViewII" from where the
- installation script can be started. Note, that this won't work,
- if you did not un-archive all of the archives...
-
- **************************************************************************
-
- Optional, separate archives are
-
- SvII-UX.lha SVObjects for seldomly used Un*x file formats
- SvII-PPC.lha Updates to PPC modules - for registered users, only
- SvII-WIZ.lha wizard.library for those who don't have it already

-
- Program Description and Distribution Concept
- --------------------------------------------
- Successor of SuperView (NG); SViewII (evaluation version), a localized graphics
- viewer, converter, editor and screen-grabber based on SuperView-Library,
- with ARexx support, GUI, AmigaGuide online-help, Commodity-functionality
- and many more features.
-
- SHAREWARE (evaluation version).
-
-
- Description of Features and Requirements
- ----------------------------------------
- Nearly anything is managed by object-oriented external modules
- for loading, saving (SVObjects), displaying (SVDrivers) and
- processing (SVOperators) graphics - converting graphics and
- "screen-grabbing" also is possible in a very comfortable way.
-
- Only requires OS V2.04 and 68000, but also makes use of available
- OS V2.1 and V3.x features and 680x0 module versions, as well
- as optional powerUP (TM) powerPC module plugins.
-
- Includes licensed SuperView-Library, which supports the following
- file formats, periphal devices, display drivers and image processing
- operators:
-
- ->>>> Total of 53 different graphic file formats <<<<-
- ->>>> Total of 2 different periphal devices <<<<-
- ->>>> Total of 10 different graphic display systems (22 cards) <<<<-
- ->>>> Total of 32 different graphic operators <<<<-
-
- SVObjects: - IFF-ACBM - Windows,OS/2 BMP - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)
- - IFF-ILBM - JPEG (JFIF v6) - IMG (GEM Graphics)
- - IFF-DEEP - PhotoCD - WPG (WP Bitmaps)
- - IFF-FAXX - TIFF - MacPaint MAC
- - IFF-PBM - PCX - EPS (Header/PS)
- - IFF-RGB8 - Atari Degas - C64 (Koala, Doodle)
- - IFF-YUVN - Windows Icon - CDR-Previews
- - QRT/POV Raytrace - Mac PICT-2 - SGI
- - SVG - Targa - Pictor/PCPaint
- - SunRaster - UtahRLE - PNG

- as well as all OS3-Datatypes
- and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43).
-
- Many formats with 24 Bit-Support.
- Reads XPK- and PP20-packed data via Unpack.svobject.
-
- Writes C-Sourcecode in chunky/RGB notation.
-
- Together with external third party programs also the
- following file formats seamlessly can be embedded:
-
- File Format needs program also needs support for
