3. System Requirement
A lot efforts have been made to make ImgFun as lean and
fast as possible.
[1] 286 or better PC with DOS 2.0 or above
[2] 300 to 450K of free memory under DOS, no extended or
expanded memory needed. Some of the memory is dynamically
allocated. For the viewer, you need at least 300K.
[3] VGA or SVGA display system. See "SVGA support" for SVGA
support list.
[4] Hard disk space for loading and processing images. One
mega bytes or above free space is required. If you use
ImgFun as a viewer only, no hard disk is required.
For the bulkiness of image data and the tremendous computing
load for processing images, a 386, or 486 computer with 2
mega bytes of free disk space is recommended. ImgFun uses
disk files for loading images up to 1024 by 1024, thus a
disk cache like the smartdrv in DOS 5.0 or Windows 3.0 & 3.1
will help ImgFun a lot and is str
