-
-
- This program can join over 400kb of .PCX (PC Paintbrush format)
- graphics files together into a single executable slide-show
- program that can be further compressed with LZEXE (included).
-
- The .PCX images must be a 2 or 4 color CGA, 2 or 16 color EGA or
- VGA, or a 256 color MCGA (320 x 200) picture.
-
-
- Usage:
-
-
- pcxslide searchpattern [alternate exe compressor]
-
-
- for example, pcxslide (on its own for help)
-
- or pcxslide *.pcx (join all .pcx files in
- current directory)
-
- or pcxlife *.pcx pklite.exe (use pklite to
- compress .exe file
- instead of lzexe)
-
- Notes on operation:
-
- 1. The name of the .EXE file created by PCXSLIDE is always
- called SHOW.EXE. SHOW.EXE will always use about 440kb of
- memory to run, regardless of how many images it contains, or
- how much the executable file is compressed.
-
- 2. The maximum size of the .PCX file cannot be more than 64,000
- bytes. You can link-in up to 100 .PCX files if they are
- small enough.
-
- 3. VGA images (2 or 16 color) will be fade-displayed on VGA
- systems for smoother presentation. The fade speed can be
- changed while viewing images by pressing 0..9, 0 being the
- fastest and 9 the slowest.
-
- 4. The programs created by PCXSLIDE check to see if the
- appropriate hardware is available before trying to display
- the image.
-
- 5. Images smaller than the screen will be centred.
-
- 6. .PCX files are processed in alphabetic order, so you can
- specify the order in which images are presented by naming or
- renaming them appropriately (eg, A.PCX, B.PCX, C.PCX . . .
- etc).
-
- 7. Usage of an executable file compressor program, such as the
- public domain (free) program LZEXE, is highly recommended.
