imgView & tPicem ──────────────── imgView is NOT a graphics viewer! In fact, it's just a small mouse shell sitting on top of tPicem, a freeware utility written by John Bridges. The "t" in tPicem stands for "tiny", and serves to distinguish it from its big brother, Picem. Both programs can be found on the Internet. They support PCX and GIF. This file is a slightly edited version of the author's original documentation. John Bridges can be contacted on CIS (Compuserve) ID:73307,606 in the PICS Forum. To enter the PICS forum on Compuserve just type "GO PICS" from any prompt. imgView maps mouse movement to the corresponding arrow keys, the Left mouse button to the Enter key, and the Right mouse button to the Esc key.

On VGA boards tPicem defaults to /V:W which is 360x480 256 colors (a non-standard mode, but it's the best 256 color mode available on a standard VGA). On SuperVGA boards tPicem defaults to /V:R which is 640x350/640x400 256 colors on boards with only 256k, and /V:S which is 640x480 256 colors on boards that have 512k or more. Some boards such as the ATI and Orchid may be capable of 800x600 256 colors, but since many monitors will not handle this mode, tPicem does not default to it, but you can manually select it with /V:T. Also, if your board has an odd resolution 256 color mode that you would like to take advantage of (such as the Everex 512x480 mode, or the Genoa 720x512 mode) you can manually override the BIOS mode used. For instance to set 512x480 on a Everex board we would do tPicem /V:0x15 (the 0x means hexidecimal, the way most bios mode numbers are written in manuals, the same number in decimal would be tPicem /V:21). ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Some VGA Chipset producers and their BIOS mode numbers: ACUMOS ────── width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x59 800 600 2 P 0x58 800 600 16 Q 0x5e 640 400 256 R 0x5f 640 480 256 S 0x5c 800 600 256 T 0x5d 1024 768 16 V AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── AHEAD ───── width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x6A 800 600 16 Q 0x71 800 600 16 Q 0x74 1024 768 16 V 0x60 640 400 256 R 0x61 640 480 256 S 0x62 800 600 256 T 0x63 1024 768 256 X AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ATI ─── width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x54 800 600 16 Q 0x65 1024 768 16 V 0x61 640 400 256 R 0x62 640 480 256 S 0x63 800 600 256 T 0x64 1024 768 256 X AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── CHIPS & TECH ───────────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x70 800 600 16 Q 0x72 1024 768 16 V 0x78 640 400 256 R 0x79 640 480 256 S 0x7b 800 600 256 T AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── EVEREX ─────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x01 752 410 16 0x02 800 600 16 Q 0x11 1280 350 4 0x12 1280 600 4 0x13 640 350 256 0x14 640 400 256 R 0x15 512 480 256 0x20 1024 768 16 V 0x30 640 480 256 S 0x31 800 600 256 T 0x32 1024 768 256 X AX=0x70 BL=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── GENOA GVGA ─────────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x7c 512 512 16 0x59 720 512 16 0x79 or 0x6a 800 600 16 Q 0x7d 512 512 256 0x5b 640 350 256 0x7e 640 400 256 R 0x5c 640 480 256 S 0x5d 720 512 256 0x5e or 0x6c 800 600 256 T 0x7f 1024 768 4 0x5f 1024 768 16 V AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── NCR ──- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x59 800 600 2 P 0x58 800 600 16 Q 0x5e 640 400 256 R 0x5f 640 480 256 S 0x5c 800 600 256 T 0x5a 1024 768 2 U 0x5d 1024 768 16 V AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── OAK TECH ───────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x52 800 600 16 Q 0x53 640 480 256 S 0x54 800 600 256 T 0x56 1024 768 16 V 0x59 1024 768 256 X 0x58 1280 1024 16 Y AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PARADISE ───────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x59 800 600 2 P 0x58 800 600 16 Q 0x5e 640 400 256 R 0x5f 640 480 256 S 0x5d 1024 768 16 V 0x5c 800 600 256 T AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── TRIDENT ──────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x5b 800 600 16 Q 0x5f 1024 768 16 V 0x5c 640 400 256 R 0x5d 640 480 256 S 0x5e 800 600 256 T AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── TRIDENT 8900 ───────────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x5b 800 600 16 Q 0x5c 640 400 256 R 0x5d 640 480 256 S 0x5e 800 600 256 T 0x60 1024 768 4 0x5f 1024 768 16 V 0x62 1024 768 256 X AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── TSENG (Genoa, Orchid, Willow) ────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x29 800 600 16 Q 0x37 1024 768 16 V 0x2d 640 350 256 R 0x2e 640 480 256 S 0x2f 720 512 256 0x30 800 600 256 T AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── TSENG 4000 ─────────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x29 800 600 16 Q 0x37 1024 768 16 V 0x2d 640 350 256 0x2f 640 400 256 R 0x2e 640 480 256 S 0x30 800 600 256 T 0x38 1024 768 256 X AX=MODE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── VIDEO7 ─────- width height colors direct mode ───── ─────- ─────- ──────────- 0x60 752 410 16 0x61 720 540 16 0x62 800 600 16 Q 0x63 1024 768 2 U 0x64 1024 768 4 0x65 1024 768 16 V 0x66 640 400 256 R 0x67 640 480 256 S 0x68 720 540 256 0x69 800 600 256 T 0x6A 1024 768 256 X AX=0x6f05 BL=MODE ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
