DOS 6.0 DOUBLESPACE WARNING
We have encountered a minor and rare problem when using Hidden Image with 
DOS 6.0 doublespace.  Doublespace provides only an estimate to the program 
of the amount of compressed disk space available.  If this estimate is too 
high, and as a result Hidden Image tries to use more disk space than is 
actually available, the system can crash.  We have contacted the supplier 
of our DOS extender to see if the problem can be corrected.  Meanwhile, make 
sure you have more than enough RAM and disk space to run Hidden Image. It is 
also a good idea to run "chkdsk /f" or DOS 6.2's "SCANDISK" periodically, 
and if Hidden Image ever crashes. If you have plenty of space available, 
Hidden Image works just fine with doublespace.

ACCESSING IMAGES ON FLOPPY DRIVES
If you are using a floppy drive to load and store images, while the floppy
drive is referenced in any Hidden Image file path dialog box it is important
that the floppy drive not be empty (i.e., don't remove the floppy and not put 
in another). If any file path defined within Hidden Image makes reference to 
a floppy drive which is not ready, DOS will put a very faint message (in text
mode) on the screen with the standard Abort, Retry, Fail? query. Hidden Image
will display its busy icon as it is waiting for DOS to answer back. To solve 
this problem, put the floppy back in and press "R" for Retry.  Change all
path references to the floppy drive before quitting Hidden Image.  In the case
that you forgot to change the path refences to a floppy and exited Hidden
Image, it is possible that Hidden Image will hang if it can't find the floppy
the next time you try to run it. To get back into Hidden Image, first delete
the HI.INI file.

NOTE: Sehgal Corp. does not recommend running Hidden Image from shell programs
such as MSDOS DOSSHELL etc.  

KNOWN BUGS:

The mouse driven keyboard function will not work in the dialog box after
the last iteration of a deconvolution run.
