- This is a collection of small image file viewers for Windows. They
- will allow you to have a look at Macpaint, BMP, GIF, PCX, TGA,
- WordPerfect WPG, TIFF, WPG and Windows ICO files.
-
- More to the point, however, these programs are presented in
- source code form in the book:
-
- Windows Bitmapped Graphics, by Steve Rimmer
- published by TAB Windcrest (TAB book 4265, ISBN 0-8306-4206-4)
-
- If you buy the book, you'll be able to create your own image
- file viewers and writers in whatever form you like. It includes
- the C language source code for these viewers, and for applications
- to illustrate printing and dithering bitmapped graphics as well.
- It's a single source for anyone who wants to work with bitmapped
- graphics under Windows.
-
- And it comes with lizards...

- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To install these viewers in you system, put the files from this
- archive on a floppy disk, put the floppy disk in a floppy disk
- drive of your system... a good place to begin... and run SETUP.EXE
- using the Run command of the Program Manager file menu.
-
- Do not attempt to install these applications from the same drive
- as the source files are on.

- Finally, some advertising...
-
- If you want a really powerful image manipulation and viewing
- package for Windows, we urge you to have a look at Graphic Workshop
- for Windows. It's available on CompuServe as GWSWIN.ZIP in
- library four of GO PICS. Alternately, feel free to call our bulletin
- board at (416) 729-4609.
