RGBVUE v0.99 (c) Copyright 1992 Lawrence Gozum & Marvin Gozum, MD.
RGBVUE is Freeware program for Windows 3.x that quickly views multiple
image GIFs with full support for multiple instances on graphics displays
with
* 24-bits, 16.7 Million colors (True Color)
* 16-bits, 65536 colors (XGA)
* 15-bits, 32768 colors (HiColor)
* 8-bits, 256 colors (SVGA)
* 4-bits, 16 colors (EGA/VGA)
* 1-bit, B&W (MCGA/VGA)
RGBVUE Features
o FAST assembly-language DLL for GIF decoding (almost as if you were
using a viewer in DOS). Quickly decodes to display and memory
(no long waits for the status bar to be completed).
o Automatic Window resizing and centering (includes an AutoWindow
button to restore default size and centered position after
resizing or repositioning window anywhere on your desktop).
o 286, 386, Standard Mode and Enhanced Mode support in Windows.
o Multiple instances (several copies running at the same time).
In 256-color modes, unlike viewers using Windows' "UpdateColors"
function (inevitably resulting in image degradation), RGBVUE
quickly changes its palette and "repaints" the image to
maintain as much color accuracy as possible.
o Online help and docs.
o Interlaced GIF support.
o Multiple image support for all GIF 87a files (FAERIE.GIF,
BLUEBK.GIF, SHINY2.GIF, 3ITEST.GIF, ...) as well as problematic
GIFs (AUTHOR.GIF, COLUMB.GIF, SRUN.GIF, NMARE1.GIF NMARE4.GIF...)
o Optional GIF 89a detection and prompt for display of first image.
Full 89a support to follow.
o Proprietary algorithms for optimal colors or gray shades in 64K
and 32K color modes.
o Proprietary algorithm for eliminating/reducing 'hotspots' in
256-color (SVGA) modes.
o Proprietary rendering algorithms for showing up to 4912 colors
with optimal detail in 16-color (EGA/VGA) modes, despite Windows'
fixed 16-color palette.
o 256, 64, 32 and 16 gray shades conversions for laptops/portables.
o Proprietary rendering algorithms for showing up to 16 gray
shades in 16-color (EGA/VGA) modes, despite Windows' fixed
palette with only four gray shades.
RGBVUE09.ZIP must include the following:
README 1ST This doc
RGBVUE EXE Main Program
RGBVUE DLL required, custom Dynamic Link Library
RGBVUE HLP Online help/docs
VBE EXE Extended Event manager for SVGA/256-color modes
Note: Although decoding routines are written in assembly, RGBVUE needs
the VBRUN100.DLL to run the main program. It is available from
most BBS's in VBRUN100.ZIP. At CompuServe browse for VBRUN.ZIP
or VBRUN1.ZIP at the PICS Forum, IBMAPP forum or Microsoft Forum.
Please ensure that VBRUN100.DLL is in your \WINDOWS directory or
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub-directory or in the same directory where you
installed RGBVUE.
