NVIEW
=====
Nview is a multi-format viewer.
Type nview -help for available option.
About Nview for PC under DOS:
-----------------------------
Nview is VESA compatible and works in 8,15,16 bits and truecolor mode.
The only mode available is 320x200x8 if your video card doesn't
support Vesa mode.
For a complete description of the available mode on the display, type
nview -help (and use it with -d option's)
For example with my Diamond S3 864, "nview -d3 back.gif" use the 640x480x15 display.
With the -p<width>x<height>x<bits>, you take the best display who match arguments.
(Example: nview -p640x480x24 back.gif)
-p0x0x0 choose the best display for the bitmap.
About Nview for X Windows (Linux/SGI):
--------------------------------------
Nview take the default visual for displaying the bitmap. You can use
-visual id (id is the visual number seeing with nview -help).
By default, nview display the bitmap and wait for a mouse click or Escape.
With the -w, Nview create one window per bitmap.
Nview works with pipe, in this case the input format must be specified:
cat img.tga | nview -f2 stdin
You will need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable with
the path where the libraries are.
By default 'install' put the libraries in /usr/local/lib.
NCONVERT
========
Nconvert is the multi-format converter.
Type nconvert -help for available option.
To convert files in a specific format, type for example :
nconvert -s5 file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
or
nconvert -out tiff file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
With a resize :
nconvert -s5 -w480 -R *.jpg
nconvert -s5 -w640 -h480 *.jpg
The input format is not necessary. If a problem occurs, use the -f option.
Nconvert is able to change the color format with -C (Binary->Colors, 256Colors->TrueColors).
When you convert GIF files to JPEG files, use it.
(Example: nconvert -s0 -C2 *.gif OR nconvert -out jpeg -C2 *.gif)
You can use it with image's sequence.
For example, we take the file00.pic, file01.pic, ..., file10.pic and
we convert in jpeg format with the form res0.jpg, res1.jpg, ... type :
nconvert -out jpeg -o res#.jpg file##.pic

-------------------------------------------
XNview requires OSF/Motif 1.2 or later.
You will need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable with
the path where the libraries are.
By default 'install' put the libraries in /usr/local/lib.
Type XNview -help for available option.
XNview take the default visual for displaying the bitmap. You can specify
an X visual id (in hexadecimal) with '-visualid id'.

Solaris version :
About XNview for Windows (x86):
-------------------------------
XNview for windows requires Windows 3.11 with Win32s, Windows NT or
Windows 95.
Windows 3.1x users note:
-----------------------
You'll need the last release of win32s for Microsoft Windows 3.1X
and Windows for Workgroup 3.1x.
If there is a file called 'win32s.ini' in the directory \windows\system,
you already have win32s. This file contains the version information.
If the version number is equal or greater than 1.30.172 (v1.30c),
you don't have to reinstall win32s.
