- Keyboard Commands:
- -----------------
- F1 = Help (this screen)
- F2 = Choose specific viewing mode

- Description:
- -----------
- VGRAF is used to view graphic files on the mach8 and mach32
- based video adapters. TARGA (tm) and Autodesk Animator FLI and FLC
- formats are supported.
-
- TARGA files in 8, 16 and 24 bit formats can be viewed. This program
- exploits deep color modes on the mach32. The TARGA files may be
- Color-Mapped, True Color, uncompressed or RLE compressed. When viewing
- files on the mach8, only an 8-bit display mode is available.
-
- The optimal display resolution and best pixel depth is automatically
- selected upon requesting a file be viewed using the Enter key. To
- explicitly set a viewing mode, press the F2 key to call up the mode
- selection menu. Make a choice from this menu, and then press the Enter
- key to view the file at the specified resolution. After the image is
- displayed (a beep occurs when this is completed), these keyboard
- functions are active:
-
- Up = Pan up
- Down = Pan down
- Left = Pan left
- Right = Pan right
- PgDn = Pan 1/3 screen down
- PgUp = Pan 1/3 screen up
- Ctrl+Left = Pan 1/3 screen to left
- Ctrl+Right = Pan 1/3 screen to right
- Esc = Return to file selecton menu
-
- Image panning is available only when the selected image resolution is
- larger than the viewing mode resolution.
-
- Autodesk Animator FLI or FLC files may also be viewed. The animation
- is run in 640x480 mode, with the image centered on the screen if it is
- smaller. The animation selected repeats automatically. While a FLI or
- FLC file is being viewed, the following keyboard functions are active:
-
- + = Increases the frame rate if the Frame speed control
- (F9) is toggled on
- - = Slows the frame rate if the Frame speed control (F9)
- is toggled on
- F8 = Resets the frame rate value altered by the + and - keys
- F9 = Frame speed control (toggles on and off); when toggled
- on (the default), the frame speed delay value is used;
- when toggled off, this value is ignored
- F10 = Single frame step mode (toggles on and off) - the SPACE
- bar advances the frame when this mode is on
- Esc = Return to file selection menu
-
- Press the Esc key to return to the file menu selection.

- For command line options, type "VGRAF help" at the DOS prompt.
