- And I hope this new version can read 24-bit DIB bitmaps, for I gave up the
- current version (dos 2.0 & windows 0.95) because they couldn't. Also, I had
- tested previous versions of CView with my SVGA card, and they DID work ok
- on the 16 and 24 bit color modes, but version 2.0 for dos doesn't.
