- Version 0.90 of WinGIF has quite a few bug fixes and several
- enhancments. The biggest addition is the ability to save GIF files.
- I also enhanced the dithering algorithm with an option to darken
- the shadow areas in the picture. Depending on the image the little
- change can make a big difference. You can also select a different 16
- color palette. It can improve a dither but usually I prefer the
- primary palette. The full window function now zooms to full screen
- but the window only zoom is still available by pressing Alt F2.
-
- Since preliminary copies of WinGif have started to float around the
- BBS's I'm going ahead and making this version available as ShareWare.
- It should replace any previous versions.
-
- There are a few features of WinGif that can probably use some
- explaination. You can use a mouse to "drag" a rectangle for cliping
- to the clipboard or triming in WinGif. WinGif works primarily from
- Windows Device Indepentant Bitmaps stored in memory. Memory in real
- mode may not be sufficient for many WinGif functions. The "Memory
- Image" option can be used to enable or disable memory bitmaps. If
- "Memory Image" is enabled WinGif will also create a device bitmap in
- memory for faster updating to the screen. This can be disabled to
- conserve memory by setting "Memory DIBs Only". Note that some of the
- SVGA device drivers have bugs in the new Windows 3.0 call to display
- a DIB. If you get upside down or garbled images you may need to leave
- this option off.
-
- With respect to the Shareware registration. There is no reminder box
- just your conscience to encourage registration. If the reistration
- response is good then I will have incentive to keep improving the
- program. I'm sorry that enhancements have been so slow in comming
- my plate is very full and I am only doing this for fun.
-
-
- Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
