- WinECJ DLL version 1.1
- ======================
-
- This is a simple example to illustrate the use of WinECJ DLL routines.
- The full API is described in the file ecjapi.txt.
-
- A makefile for compiling the example "showjpg" (assuming Borland) is included.
- To run showjpg, wecjlib.dll should be copied to the Windows directory.
-
- Note that there are two versions of the DLL. The free version, included
- in this distribution, does not support TrueColor or 2-pass color quantisation,
- which are features in the registered full version of the DLL.
- ECJ_Decode() in the free DLL, when instructed to use 24-bit or 2-pass
- color quantisation, will automatically put up a message (commercial :-)
- and pass control back to the client via the callback procedure. The client
- can then choose to act accordingly (e.g. disabling the appropriate menu
- options), or to ignore the message by return 0 to the DLL, in which case the
- DLL will proceed to decode with 8-bit ordered dithering. Application programs
- therefore do not have to distinguish between the two different versions
- of the DLL, and should always cater for the full version.
