ABOUT THE NEW TIFF GRAPHICS FILTER
The new TIFF graphics filter is capable of importing 256 color and 256 gray scale
images into Toolbook. It is not possible to use both the new and the old
filters simultaneously, so make sure to delete or edit the line which points
to the old filter (TIFFIMP.FLT).
INSTALLING THE NEW FILTER
To install the new filter, copy the TIFF.FLT file to the \TOOLBOOK\FILTERS
directory. If you have elected not to use the default directory names, substitute
the appropriate directory names for the above. (Note: The directory names do not
matter, as long as the entry you make in the WIN.INI file names the directory into
which the filter is copied - see the next paragraph.)
Open your WIN.INI file using NOTEPAD or the SysEdit program included with Windows.
To run SysEdit, select the Run command from the Program Manager or File Manager
File menu and in the command line field, type SYSEDIT then press <Enter> or click
the OK button. WIN.INI will be the second of four windows which will open up.
Find the [Toolbook Filters] section, or if one is not present following the
[Toolbook] section, add it so that it reads as follows:
...
[Toolbook Filters]
TIFF Graphics (.tif)=C:\TOOLBOOK\FILTERS\TIFF.FLT,TIF
...
Substitute the appropriate drive letter and/or pathname if necessary. If you have
an existing entry for a TIFF filter, modify it so that it names TIFF.FLT instead of
TIFFIMP.FLT.
After saving the modified WIN.INI file, the new TIFF graphics filter will be
available to your books. It is not necessary to exit Windows and return in order
for the change to take effect.
