Author: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Type: gfx/show
*****************************************************************************
Via SuperView-Library SViewNG does support powerUP (TM) as one of the first !
(48 PPC plugin-modules available NOW, based on ppc.library)

---------------------------------------------------------
Program Description and Distribution Concept
--------------------------------------------
Successor of SuperView; SViewNG (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).
What's *new* in this version
----------------------------
- switched all PPC modules to new format. Make sure that
you upgrade these, too (lowest possible version: V21.1)
- added PPC support to some more modules (4 operators)
- bug fixes, speed improvements
- etc.
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 49 different graphic file formats <<<<-
->>>> Total of 2 different periphal devices <<<<-
->>>> Total of 9 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
- FBM - XWD - Amiga Icons (WB/Magic/New)
- IFF-RGFX - TIM
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

PROGRAM-CHANGES:
================
V7.60 (6.3.98):
- included Library 21.1, which has been updated to new .svm style PPC modules
(completely redesigned with SAS/C):
NOTE, THAT THE OLD MODULES WILL NO LONGER WORK, WHILE THE NEW MODULES
WILL ONLY WORK WITH THIS VERSION AND UP! NEW MODULES ARE AVAILABLE
UNDER Aminet:gfx/show/svppc211.lha
- added ARexx script for importing graphics into PageStream via SuperView.
Script has been supplied for inclusion by William F. Maddock. Thanks William!
- further improvements have been delayed slightly;
PPC modules had a higher priority
V7.55 (11.2.98):
- prefs: replaced ":SuperView/SViewNG.config" by "PROGDIR:SViewNG.config"
(default directory still is ENV:)
- included Library 20.1 (new: PPC support in JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PICT)
LIBRARY-CHANGES:
================
V21.1 (6.3.1998) :
------------------
- various Modules: - updated to new .svm style PPC modules
(completely redesigned with SAS/C)
NOTE, THAT THE OLD MODULES WILL NO
LONGER WORK, WHILE THE NEW MODULES
WILL ONLY WORK WITH THIS VERSION
AND UP! NEW MODULES ARE AVAILABLE
UNDER Aminet:gfx/show/svppc211.lha
- SVObjects: - Limbo: - the Limbo package now is
available in a PPC version
- SVOperators: - PaletteDither, OptimizePalette,
AnyTo24Bit, HilbertDither256:
- now with optional PPC support, too
- AnyTo24Bit, HilbertDither256:
- fixed small bugs (see there)
V20.1 (11.2.1998) :
-------------------
- SVObjects: - JPEG, PNG: - now with support for PPC native
ELF loader/saver; incredible speedup
- TIFF, PICT: - dito, plus fixed some bugs
- V19.11 (1.1.98) accidentally still was labeled
V19.10 (27.12.97) internally
- updated Steve Quartly's 14 SQOperators to version 3.5.
They're now adjusted to the latest library specs, have
been improved and bug-fixed and all seem to have
decreased their file size a little bit
(-> supplied by Steve Quartly)
- Prefs: - (see there)
- Docs: - updated press feedback section
- updated "known bugs" on PicassoIV with Picasso96
- updated information on powerUP (TM) plugins
for PPC in ELF format (ppc.library).
