-
- What's an Album?
-
- An Album is a way of collecting several bitmaps and multimedia files into a
- collection.
-
- Just think of an Album as a photo album: you can have several different photo
- albums, each with its own collection of pictures. For example, you could have
- an album of your children, or you can have an album for a business
- presentation.
-
- A sample Album comes with Image Notebook. It's called ReadMe.INB. It contains a
- list of several images that come with OS/2. Albums are really just text files
- that contain bitmap and multimedia file names. (Look at ReadMe.INB in the OS/2
- System Editor if you're interested in its format.)
