- ---------------------

- ReadBMP is © copyright 1994 by Jürgen Weinelt.
-
- Non-commercial distribution (that is, distribute freely
- and FOR FREE [except for reasonable media costs]) is
- permitted.
-
- If you want to use ReadBMP as part of a commercial
- package, please contact me first. Most likely I will
- not ask for more than a free copy of your package.
-
- ReadBMP may be included in CDROM distributions IF, and
- ONLY IF I am allowed to purchase at least one copy of the
- CDROM for half the normal price (or cheaper, of course).
-
- Fred Fish has UNCONDITIONAL permission to include ReadBMP
- in his freely distributable software library, even in
- the CDROM version.

-
- Installation
- ------------
- Copy the executable "ReadBMP" to a directory in your
- search path (for example "c:"). Read the documentation
- (this file).
-
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- * A PicassoII graphics board.
- * Lotsa RAM (depends on image resolution and depth).
- * Kickstart 2.0 or better. It might run with Kickstart 1.3,
- but I didn't test it. Kickstart 1.3 is obsolete anyway.

- Bugs
- ----
- None known at the moment. However, there are a few potential
- problems in the code that I know about but did not fix for
- this release:
-
- Nasty things *might* happen if you attempt to load a picture
- that's larger than the largest Picasso mode available.
-
- Nasty things *might* happen if you run out of memory.
-
- You have been warned.

- Credits
- -------
- ReadBMP is partially based on the ImageMagick package (at
- least the BMP part of that package), but the code was almost
- completely rewritten. Any bugs are certainly mine. :-)
