  82.  │                                                                            │
  83.  │  Artview was mainly coded for the Devotion-Artpacks. It is part of the     │
  84.  │  Devotion Artpacks. Artview supports in this version ANSi, Binary-Ansi     │
  85.  │  (BIN), Textfiles, TGA-Pictures, PCX-Pictures and GIF-Pictures.            │
  86.  │                                                                            │
  87.  │  The textmode-viewer should work with all files, but the Grafixviewer      │
  88.  │  doesn't support truecolor yet. With the TGA-Viewer you can only view un-  │
  89.  │  compressed pictures, and the GIF-Viewer doesn't support interlaced pic-   │
  90.  │  tures yet. (is this to much??)                                            │
  91.  │                                                                            │
  92.  │  Artview uses the same routines for all Grafikmodes, so if you want to     │
  93.  │  have lowresolution modes like 320*200 or 640*400, you have to use a vesa  │
  94.  │  driver that support these modes, too like univbe53.                       │
  95.  │                                                                            │
  96.  │  The usage of the program is very easy, i don't think that i must explain  │
  97.  │  it... :)) ... and for some hotkeys, try to press F1 in the mainprogram :) │
  98.  │                                                                            │
  99.  │  To get some more information, what's possible with Artview, you should    │
  100.  │  also read ARTVIEW.HIS.                                                    │
  101.  │                                                                            │
  102.  │  Artview was coded, using Borland Pascal 7 and Turbo Assembler 3.2 on a    │
  103.  │  486DX33, 16MB Ram, ET4000. -> It works fine on my machine :).             │
  104.  │  The Source-Code for this version contains more than 5000 lines code,      │
  105.  │  and including debugging-tools it needs 5MB on my Harddrive.               │
