- RGBVUE Features
-
- o FAST assembly-language DLL for GIF decoding (almost as if you were
- using a viewer in DOS). Quickly decodes to display and memory
- (no long waits for the status bar to be completed).
-
- o Automatic Window resizing and centering (includes an AutoWindow
- button to restore default size and centered position after
- resizing or repositioning window anywhere on your desktop).
-
- o 286, 386, Standard Mode and Enhanced Mode support in Windows.
-
- o Multiple instances (several copies running at the same time).
- In 256-color modes, unlike viewers using Windows' "UpdateColors"
- function (inevitably resulting in image degradation), RGBVUE
- quickly changes its palette and "repaints" the image to
- maintain as much color accuracy as possible.
-
- o Online help and docs.
-
- o Interlaced GIF support.
-
- o Multiple image support for all GIF 87a files (FAERIE.GIF,
- BLUEBK.GIF, SHINY2.GIF, 3ITEST.GIF, ...) as well as problematic
- GIFs (AUTHOR.GIF, COLUMB.GIF, SRUN.GIF, NMARE1.GIF NMARE4.GIF...)
-
- o Optional GIF 89a detection and prompt for display of first image.
- Full 89a support to follow.
-
- o Proprietary algorithms for optimal colors or gray shades in 64K
- and 32K color modes.
-
- o Proprietary algorithm for eliminating/reducing 'hotspots' in
- 256-color (SVGA) modes.
-
- o Proprietary rendering algorithms for showing up to 4912 colors
- with optimal detail in 16-color (EGA/VGA) modes, despite Windows'
- fixed 16-color palette.
-
- o 256, 64, 32 and 16 gray shades conversions for laptops/portables.
-
- o Proprietary rendering algorithms for showing up to 16 gray
- shades in 16-color (EGA/VGA) modes, despite Windows' fixed
- palette with only four gray shades.

- RGBVUE09.ZIP must include the following:
-
- README 1ST This doc
- RGBVUE EXE Main Program
- RGBVUE DLL required, custom Dynamic Link Library
- RGBVUE HLP Online help/docs
- VBE EXE Extended Event manager for SVGA/256-color modes
-
- Note: Although decoding routines are written in assembly, RGBVUE needs
- the VBRUN100.DLL to run the main program. It is available from
- most BBS's in VBRUN100.ZIP. At CompuServe browse for VBRUN.ZIP
- or VBRUN1.ZIP at the PICS Forum, IBMAPP forum or Microsoft Forum.
-
- Please ensure that VBRUN100.DLL is in your \WINDOWS directory or
- \WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub-directory or in the same directory where you
- installed RGBVUE.
