FSHOW.COM
What it is:
Fshow.com is a fractal picture file viewer. It can decompress and
display highly compressed images on a 286 or better CPU without special
hardware. The images may be viewed in VGA or the supported SVGA modes. In
order to view images in SVGA, special drivers must be loaded. The programs
fshow.com and showfrac.exe must be in the current directory or in a directory that is
included in your path.
How to use it:
To use Fshow.com you must already have a fractal file available
to view, these files usually end in a .FIF or a .POE extension. If the
fractal file and the viewer are not in the same directory you must supply
the paths to the files. The basic use of the Fshow command is:
FSHOW filename [-v mode] [-s size]
'filename' is the full name of the file to be viewed.
'mode' is any of the following:
12 - VGA 640x480 16 color
13 - VGA 320X200 256 color
100 - SVGA 640x400 256 color
101 - SVGA 640x480 256 color
202 - SVGA 720x540 256 color
103 - SVGA 800x600 256 color
your monitor and video card must be able to use the mode selected
for it to display correctly. All SVGA modes will work only after
the correct fractal video driver is installed (see below). If
the -v mode option is omitted, mode 13 will be used by default.
'size' is any of the following:
h - half size
f - full size
d - double size
If the -s size option is omitted, size f (full size) will be used
by default.
If both options are omitted you will be requested for each.
Examples of use:
fshow dolphin.fif
This will request the video mode to use, then the size, then display
dolphin.fif. This will work on any VGA monitor if you select mode 12 or
13, any other mode must be supported by the SVGA card and monitor and the
correct drivers must be loaded.
fshow \pictures\fractals\ball.poe -v 12 -s d
This will display the file "ball.poe" in the directory "/pictures/fractals"
in mode 12 with the size doubled. This will work on any VGA monitor.
fshow cat.fif -v 100
This will display the file "cat.fif" in the current directory in mode 100
(A supported SVGA mode) with the default full size. This will only work on
a supported SVGA card and monitor, with the drivers loaded correctly.
How to load the SVGA drivers:
To load the SVGA drivers you must have a supported SVGA board.
To determine the SVGA board and install the drivers you need to run a program
called FINDSVGA. Just type in FINDSVGA and the program will do the rest. If
your board is supported it will tell you and offer to install the drivers
in your system startup file, CONFIG.SYS. If you choose to let it do the
changes for you, it will add the necessary commands. You will need to
reboot for the changes to take place.
