MGIF 5.10beta is not a public release. If you want to give it away to
someone, please contact the author.
All use of the program is at your own risk. No serious bugs are known to
date, but there can very well be a few.

Documentation
=============
Apart from this file, the following files contain valuable information on
running mgif 5.10beta:
MGIF.HYP - ST-Guide format manual for MGIF.
MGIF.OPT - Short descriptions of available command line switches.
HISTORY.TXT - A chronological updates list.
Startup info
============
When MGIF 5.10beta is started it looks for a number of files.
If it is started as a GEM program (.PRG or .GTP), one of those is
MGIFv5.RSC. If MGIF can't find that file it aborts.
The MGIF_FL.EXE file contains code that enables MGIF to store self-loadable
.FL files. If it's not available, normal .FL files will be created.
The environment variable MGIF_OPT can contain the same kind of parameters
that are normally given on the command line. If no other name is given, MGIF
also tries to load MGIF.OPT in the current directory.
Finally, it's possible to store options permanently inside the MGIF
executable. See the manual for further details.
A file containing matrices for the ordered dither display, MGIF.DTT, is
loaded if available. MGIF is also compatible with the .DIT files used by
GEMView and Speed of Light. A switch can be used to load another dither
file if needed.
The names of the flicker code, options and dither files can be changed using
switches.
All keyboard shortcuts can be redefined in the file MGIF.KEY.
